Delhi Building collapse: 4 Dead, Several Trapped In Mustafabad, Rescue Ops Underway
NEW DELHI: An under-construction building collapsed in Delhi's Mustafabad on Saturday, claiming at least 4 lives, while several are trapped under debris.
In a CCTV footage shared by the locals, the collapse was captured at around 2:30 am.

According to the footage, powerful gusts of wind and a cloud of dust swept through the alley moments after the building collapsed.
The collapse is believed to have been triggered by a dust storm and heavy rains that hit parts of the capital late Friday night.
Rescue teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Delhi Police, and local authorities have launched an operation to locate and evacuate those still missing.
According to police, the wall belonged to a six-floor building under construction.
"At around 2:50 am, we received information about a house collapse. NDRF, Delhi Fire Service, and other civic agencies are involved in the rescue operation. We are trying our best to rescue those who are trapped (inside the rubble)," says Divisional Fire Officer Rajendra Atwal.
Officials later confirmed that the death toll had risen to four by Saturday morning. The number of those injured is still being verified.
Authorities have cordoned off the area and are also investigating if any structural violations or negligence were involved. Further details are awaited.
