Quick Summary

A building collapse in New Delhi's Satya Niketan neighborhood on Sunday killed at least one person and trapped several others. At least two people were hospitalized in critical condition. The cause of the collapse is unknown, but it is not uncommon for buildings to collapse during India's monsoon season, which runs from June to September, due to heavy or prolonged rain weakening ageing structures. Rescue efforts are ongoing with some people who are trapped inside making phone calls for help while being kept in contact by rescuers.

At the time of the collapse, there were reports of construction work going on in the basement.
