A collapsed house in the Model Town area of North West Delhi during heavy rain on Saturday.

A labourer died while two others were injured after a two-storeyed banquet hall collapsed in North West Delhi’s Model Town area during heavy afternoon rain on Saturday afternoon, officials said.
The incident took place in Mahendru Enclave where the old building, which was being repaired, collapsed around 2.45 pm, they said.
With the help of the police, NDRF personnel and other rescue team members, three people were taken out of the rubble and sent to a nearby hospital.
The police said the building was about 50 years’ old and was closed for the past few years. Some labourers were doing the repair work as it was in a dilapidated condition. TNS
