Three people died and 14 others sustained injuries when a two-storey house collapsed in central Delhi’s Bapa Nagar on Wednesday morning, police said.

The rescue operation is still underway and a few more occupants of the building are feared trapped in its debris, they said.

“Three people died and 14 people were rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment but a few more are still feared trapped,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) M Harsha Vardhan said.

According to an official of the Delhi Fire Services, a call reporting the collapse was received at 9.11 am following which five fire tenders were sent to the spot.

Vardhan said the building is old and located in narrow lanes of a residential locality in Bapa Nagar of Prasad Nagar.

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).
