Recent spate of building collapses in Delhi
This incident comes barely a month after a similar tragedy in Delhi’s Welcome neighbourhood, where an unauthorised four-storey building collapsed on July 12, claiming six lives from a single family. Eight others, including four relatives of the deceased, were injured when the structure fell in a narrow five-foot lane in Janta Colony.
