  "account": "New Delhi witnessed the tragic collapse of a five-storey building housing a paying guest facility in Shanti Niketan on Sunday. The incident resulted in the death of six people and left several others trapped under the debris. In the wake of the tragedy, several alarming safety lapses have come to light at two nearby hostels run by the same company, Hostel Daze.\n\nAccording to a ground report by India Today, both hostels are situated in close proximity to the collapsed building. One of the hostels is located approximately 70-80 meters away from the site of the collapse. Concerns have been raised over the extremely narrow access passages, which are only around two feet wide. The exit from the hostel is secured by an iron gate, which is also closed, raising questions about the ease of evacuation in emergency situations.\n\nFurther safety issues have been identified, including the presence of electrical wires hanging precariously around the premises of both hostels. Another Hostel Daze property, situated around 100 meters from the collapse site, also has a five-storey building with electrical infrastructure hanging without proper arrangement.\n\nMCD orders immediate sealing\n\nIn response to the safety concerns, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has ordered the immediate sealing of all illegal constructions exceeding four floors in the area. The collapse of the building also highlights a violation of building height regulations, as most structures in the vicinity are reportedly four to five storeys high, despite the fact that such buildings are not permitted in the region.\n\nAt least six people have lost their lives and 12 others have been rescued from the debris following the collapse.",
