A six-story building collapsed near a construction site in the Grand Nuodia area near New Delhi, killing at least two people while rescuers seek even more people under the rubble, police said Wednesday.
Police said the building, which collapsed late Tuesday night, was established a few years ago and apparently did not have a large population.
Police Inspector General Kum Kumar said, "We fired two bodies out of the rubble and it is difficult to determine how many bodies there are, but the people of the area tell us that There is not a large number of displaced families in the building, and that construction workers live there most of the time there. "
A local media reported previously that there were fears that at least 50 people would be trapped.
According to police and residents, the collapse of buildings in India is more common during the current rainy season and its frequency is increasing due to the use of substandard building materials.
Officials said that about a hundred people had taken part in rescue operations at night using winches to remove debris.
The orders of the Disaster Management Force were given to provide all possible assistance and medical supplies to the wounded, said Ugandan Prime Minister Yuji Aditianath in a tweet on Twitter.
