This incident comes just a week after another building collapse in northwest Delhi. On August 2, three people were killed and four others injured when a portion of a two-storey building in Jahangirpuri’s D Block gave way. The building, which housed three separate factories, collapsed due to weakened structural integrity caused by seepage. Emergency services, including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), worked tirelessly to manage the aftermath.

Both incidents highlight the ongoing issues with building safety in the area, particularly concerning older structures compromised by environmental factors.
