At least seven students were killed and dozens remain feared trapped after a five-story private student hostel building collapsed in South Delhi.
Indian emergency officials confirmed that rescue operations are actively underway, with teams having successfully extricated 11 individuals from the debris so far. Authorities estimate that between 30 and 50 students may still be trapped underneath the rubble.
Preliminary reports indicate that the structure gave way during ongoing repair work in a flooded basement, though an official investigation has been launched to determine the precise cause of the structural failure. CCTV footage circulating on social media captured the moment of the collapse, showing bystanders fleeing as the building caved in. Emergency personnel utilizing heavy machinery continue to clear debris and search for survivors.
