A 4-storey building collapsed in Delhi’s Mustafabad area at 2.30 am on Friday night. 11 people died in this accident, while 11 people were injured. Out of these, the treatment of 5 seriously injured is still going on. After the collapse of the 20-year-old four-storey building, a rescue operation was carried out for more than 12 hours. After the accident, NDRF and Delhi Police teams admitted the injured to GTB Hospital. According to the police, there were 22 people in the building. Among them, the building owner Tahseen and 6 members of his family were also killed. These include 3 women and 4 children. Divisional Fire Officer Rajendra Atwal said that information was received about a house collapse late at night. When we reached the spot, it was found that the entire building had collapsed and people were trapped in the debris. Actually, the weather in Delhi suddenly changed on Friday night. Due to heavy rain and storm, many areas were damaged. It is believed that due to this the Mustafabad building also collapsed. Neighbors said – it felt like an earthquake At the time of the accident, people living in the neighborhood also felt the tremors of the earthquake and said that the floor below them was shaking. Resident Ryan said that we thought something had fallen on our house, but when we looked outside, we found that the entire building next to us had turned into rubble. Another resident Salim Ali said that dirty sewer water has been seeping into the walls of the buildings for years and over time the moisture has weakened the building, causing cracks in the walls. This is the reason for the accident. The condition of four to five buildings is still dangerous. NDRF DIG Mohsen Shahidi said that we call the Mustafabad accident a pancake collapse. In such accidents, the floors of the building fall one on top of the other, where the chances of survival are very low. This is a crowded area, so the task of removing the debris became challenging. Heavy machinery could not be used due to lack of space. On the news of the accident, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said in a post on X, “I am very saddened by the tragic incident of building collapse in Mustafabad. Orders have been given to investigate the incident and strict action will be taken against the culprits.” Names of those who died in the accident… Understand the accident from 8 photos… Local MLA said – the accident is the result of MCD’s negligence Deputy Speaker and MLA from Mustafabad Mohan Singh Bisht reached the spot and said that this accident is the result of MCD’s negligence and corruption.
