Indian rescue teams are combing the rubble of a five-story building that collapsed in New Delhi, leaving at least six people dead, officials reported on Monday. Emergency services are worried that more people may still be trapped in the debris. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), which treated the victims, stated that its trauma center received 10 individuals.
Among the 10 patients, five arrived dead, and one, who was in critical condition, passed away later, according to AIIMS. Disaster agency crews, along with fire and police units, are employing heavy machinery and sniffer dogs to pinpoint any remaining individuals who might be entombed.
