Saket Collapse Highlights Ongoing Safety Concerns
The latest incident follows a major building collapse near Saket Metro Station in South Delhi on Friday evening, where six people died and eight others were injured. Authorities said more than 10 people were rescued from the debris and taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
The building housed a coaching institute, cafés, and office spaces and was undergoing construction work on its upper floors at the time of the incident. Following the Saket collapse, rescue teams deployed heavy machinery, hydraulic cutters, victim-locating cameras, and sniffer dogs to search for survivors trapped under the debris.
Officials confirmed that Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the site to review rescue operations. Delhi Police also arrested the owner of the multi-storey building as part of the ongoing investigation into the collapse.
With back-to-back structural failures reported in South Delhi, authorities are expected to examine possible violations in construction norms and safety regulations. Rescue operations in Burari are ongoing, and officials have said further updates will be shared once the situation is assessed.
