Delhi's Satya Niketan PG Building Collapse: 3 Of 8 Brought To AIIMS Were Dead On Arrival, 1 In Critical Condition

The collapse of a five-story building in Delhi's Satya Niketan area left three people dead and one in critical condition upon arrival at the JPN Apex Trauma Centre at AIIMS. A total of eight patients were brought to the trauma centre, with one individual discharged after receiving observation. The structure, which housed a PG facility for students from various Delhi University colleges, reportedly had a damaged pillar that may have contributed to its collapse.

Rescue operations involved the National Disaster Response Force, Delhi Fire Services, and police, along with local residents and Delhi University students. The exact cause of the collapse is yet to be determined, but authorities plan to conduct a detailed investigation. This incident has reignited discussions about building safety in the capital city, following a similar tragedy that killed six medical students in May.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered condolences to the affected families and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
