A three-storey building collapsed in Delhi's Chawri Bazaar, killing at least two and injuring another, with rescue efforts underway. This incident adds to a series of recent building collapses in Delhi linked to illegal construction, ignored complaints, and regulatory lapses. Previous inquiries into similar tragedies, including Saidulajab and Seemapuri, highlighted enforcement failures and inadequate emergency preparedness.
