A three-storey building collapsed in northwest Delhi’s Ashok Vihar on Wednesday, injuring at least nine people, the Delhi Fire Service said.
Around 25 people, nine among them with major injuries, were rescued from the debris and admitted to a nearby hospital.
A call about the incident was received at 9.25 a.m and six fire tenders were rushed to the spot near Sawan Park, an officer said.
Two teams of NDRF were mobilised for rescue operations, a NDRF spokesperson said.
Locals say the building was old and it may have collapsed due to the incessant rainfall over the last three days.
