‘Most students would be inside’: Locals after boys’ PG collapses in Delhi's Satya Niketan
Locals and witnesses also joined the rescue operation, using their hands and whatever equipment was available to clear the debris.
A building believed to house boys' accommodation collapsed in the Satya Niketan area of south Delhi on Sunday, leaving several people feared trapped under the debris. Preliminary reports suggest around 40-50 individuals may have been present inside the structure when it fell. Three people were reported injured, three of whom were admitted to AIIMS Delhi's trauma center in critical condition.
Emergency services, including the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, National Disaster Response Force, Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Police, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Centralised Accident and Trauma Services, and Civil Defence, are actively involved in the rescue operation. The building next to the collapsed structure was evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Locals and witnesses joined the rescue efforts, using makeshift tools to clear the debris and search for trapped individuals. An eyewitness identified the building as "Hostel Daze," a boys' PG, though this has not been officially confirmed. The exact number of trapped or injured individuals remains unknown.
