Five-storey building collapses in Delhi

 A five-storey residential building collapsed in Lalita Park in New Delhi's Laxmi Nagar area on Monday evening. Delhi's Health Minister Kiran Walia, who is at the spot, told NDTV that 28 people have died and 50 others are injured. 


Several people are feared trapped under the debris. Rescue operations are on and the injured have been shifted to Lal Bahadur Shastri and LNJP hospitals.


According to eyewitnesses, at least 400-500 people were staying in the building which collapsed at 7.30 pm. Their is no confirmation on how the building collapsed but according to locals, the basement of the building was filled with water and some construction work was going on which further weakened the base of the building.


Speaking to NDTV, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said, "30 to 40 people are yet to be rescued. I think this disaster happened because of the carelessness of the builder. I will order an inquiry into the incident."
Rescue work is going on and the people in the area have been assisting the police officials and the fire brigade.


So  this happened due to  promoter negalince , therefore this will be an example for other Builders and Promoters to take this issue seriously. because  you are not only building flats and making money out of this, moreover you deal with human life.


My condolence to people who died there.
