One more person is reported to be injured while several are feared trapped. Two people died after a three-storey under-construction building collapsed in Old Delhi’s Chawri Bazaar on Thursday morning.
At least six fire units, including water tenders and rescue vehicles, have been rushed to the spot. The incident was reported at 9:50 am from Gali Sitara, near the Chawri Bazaar Metro station, according to the preliminary information.
Reacting to the latest tragedy, AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Bharadwaj questioned those audits and asked: “Rekha Gupta’s government and MCD conducted multiple safety audits of all buildings in Delhi, yet buildings keep collapsing. Why?”
After a building running as boys’ paying guest (PG) accommodation in South Delhi’s Satya Niketan collapsed on September 6, the MCD carried out safety audits.
