New Delhi, July 15

Five people were killed and many feared trapped after a wall of an under-construction godown collapsed in outer Delhi’s Alipur area, police said on Friday.

According to fire department officials, over 10 people are trapped under the debris and so far four persons have been rescued.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed anguish over the loss of lives in the incident and said his thoughts are with those affected by the tragedy.

“Anguished by the mishap in Alipur, Delhi. My thoughts are with those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that those who are injured recover at the earliest,” Modi was quoted as saying in a tweet by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

Officials said four fire tenders were rushed to the spot, adding the area of the godown is about 5,000 sqr yard.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
