Two people die after a slab collapse at an under-construction house in Milan Garden, Harsh Vihar, in northeast Delhi, according to officials. Reports say the building is originally a single-storey structure that is being expanded by adding a floor. During construction, part of the existing roof gives way and the newly laid slab collapses, trapping workers or residents under debris before rescue teams extract them.
Emergency services respond to the incident and carry out search-and-rescue operations. Coverage describes deployments involving the Delhi Fire Service, Delhi Police, and the National Disaster Response Force, along with civil defence and heavy equipment such as a JCB to clear rubble. Some outlets also mention involvement by local residents and the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, while noting narrow entry points complicated access.
Context across outlets includes that the incident follows another recent building collapse in Seemapuri, with four fatalities, as cited by at least one newspaper. Several reports emphasize that, at the time of reporting, it was not immediately clear whether victims were trapped and that the exact cause was yet to be confirmed.
