Five-storey building collapses in Seemapuri, Delhi; 5 dead, 8 injured

Summary

A residential building in Seemapuri, northeast Delhi, collapsed on October 7, 2026. The death toll stands at 5, with 8 injured. The building had developed cracks, and a cloud of dust blanketed the area following the collapse. Reports differ on the cause: some cite tremors from an earthquake in Uttarakhand, while others suggest illegal construction work in an adjacent building may have triggered the collapse. The exact cause has not been officially confirmed. The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have disputed responsibility for regulatory oversight of the structure. Rescue operations involved multiple agencies, and survivors received medical care at hospitals.
