Delhi building collapse kills three in Chawri Bazar

Chawri Bazar building collapse Delhi Police unauthorised construction Municipal Corporation of Delhi

A three-storey building under construction in the Chawri Bazar area of Old Delhi collapsed on Thursday, resulting in at least three deaths and several injuries. The deceased have been identified as Kishori (40), Sanjeet (45), and Pankaj Sharma (40).

Authorities suspect the collapse occurred when temporary supports, or centring, were removed while the concrete was still wet. The structure was reportedly being built on a small plot without the necessary sanctioned building plans. Delhi Police had previously flagged the construction as unauthorised in June.

In response to the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ordered an inquiry and directed the suspension of a junior engineer and an assistant engineer from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Three contractors, identified as Siraj, Tajuddin, and Furkan, were arrested by Delhi Police and charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Rescue operations involving the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Delhi Fire Services, and the MCD were conducted in the densely populated, narrow lanes of the area, which hindered the use of heavy machinery.
