The Delhi Fire Services and police received information about the incident at around 7 pm on Sunday and rushed to the spot. NDRF personnel, local police and fire services teams joined the rescue operation, while a DDMA team also reached the site.
Construction work was reportedly underway on the building’s first floor when the structure collapsed. The exact cause of the incident has not yet been established.
Family members of the two men had earlier alleged that rescue work was progressing slowly and said they were trying to remove debris themselves to locate their relatives.
Police personnel were deployed at the site to manage the crowd and maintain law and order as emergency responders continued clearing the rubble. Further details about the deceased and the circumstances of the collapse are awaited.
