A multi-storey building collapsed in northeast Delhi's Seemapuri area on Wednesday, October 7, leaving a few people feared trapped in the debris and prompting an immediate response from the Delhi Fire Service.
The Delhi Traffic Police alerted commuters to avoid Seemapuri Gol Chakkar, DLF Bhopura, and adjoining roads, urging people not to stop, park, or gather near the site so that ambulances and rescue vehicles could move faster.
