Portion of Dilapidated Building Collapses in Delhi Amid Heavy RainfallPreviousNext

On August 24, a portion of a dilapidated building under construction collapsed in the Pahari Bhojla area of central Delhi amid heavy rainfall, damaging three to four two-wheelers. Police responded promptly, securing the area and relocating people nearby to safety. No injuries were reported. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi had previously issued a notice about the building's condition, and repair work was ongoing at the time of the collapse. Heavy rains also caused waterlogging and traffic disruptions across Delhi.
