Eight people — six minors and two women — suffered injuries on Tuesday after a wall reportedly collapsed on them at Khirki Extension.

The police said they received a PCR call at 6 pm regarding a wall collapse at the Malviya Nagar police station.

“When a team reached the spot, it found that a wall on the top floor of the house had collapsed, resulting in minor injuries to residents of a neighbouring house,” an officer said.

It is learnt that the victims were on their roof at the time when a sudden rainfall and storm were witnessed in the area.

They were identified as Paro (35), Juna (43), Ananya (4), Seeta (7), Ashika (7), Deepika (7), Puneet (3) and Nirmala (15). “They are all being discharged from the hospital,” the officer said.

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).
