What's behind this
A loud crash echoed through the cramped neighbourhood of Old Delhi’s Chawri Bazar on Thursday morning, prompting residents to rush out of their homes and see a three‑storey building under construction collapse. The collapse killed two people and left several others trapped under debris. Initial investigations indicate that the owner, Samiullah, carried out fresh construction on the second and third floors without prior approval, violating an advisory issued in April. Following the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ordered a probe and the filing of an FIR. No further details about the victims or rescue efforts were provided.
