6 killed in Delhi building collapse; illegal buildings over 4 floors to face action

The death toll in the collapse of the Satya Niketan building in Delhi has risen to six, as rescue efforts continue at the site. Teams from the National Disaster Response Force, Delhi Fire Service, and other agencies are working to remove heavy debris and search for any remaining trapped individuals. The collapse occurred on Sunday afternoon near Delhi University's South Campus, in a student-dominated area.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has ordered action against illegal buildings with four or more storeys, following a magisterial inquiry and an FIR registration against the building owner. Congress leader Kumari Selja criticized the BJP government for the safety of students staying in such accommodations, while former Delhi chief secretary Omesh Saigal raised concerns over unauthorized construction and substandard buildings in densely populated areas.
