Two people lost their lives and one was injured when a building under construction crumbled in Old Delhi's Chawri Bazaar on Thursday morning. The incident, which occurred in Gali Sitara near Chawri Bazaar Metro station, took place amidst a crowded wholesale market during the festive shopping rush. Six fire units were dispatched to the scene, but it was initially uncertain how many individuals were inside.
Two months prior, a similar building collapse in the Satya Niketan area claimed seven lives, most of whom were college students. All 11 people reported missing after a boat capsized in a flooded lake in Telangana's Khammam district have now been accounted for, according to local media.
