Summary

A three-storey building under construction in Chawri Bazar, Old Delhi, collapsed in stages, with reports saying 3 people died and 5 were injured. Rescue operations continued, and several people were suspected to be trapped under the debris, according to Sub-Divisional Magistrate Manoj Kumar. Three contractors have been arrested. Accounts differ on the cause: one attributes the collapse to a broken wooden log supporting a concrete slab, another to poor-quality material and unsafe construction, and officials have pointed to unauthorised construction without proper permissions. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi suspended engineers and ordered safety checks of neighbouring buildings. The Delhi Chief Minister ordered an inquiry.
