BJP chief Amit Shah halted the scheduled inauguration of a new party office in Goa following news of a building collapse in Delhi, citing safety concerns.
Amit Shah, the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, arrived in Goa to inaugurate a newly constructed party office. The ceremony, which was to be attended by senior party leaders and local officials, was abruptly curtailed after reports emerged of a building collapse in Delhi.
The Delhi incident, which involved a multi‑storey structure, caused injuries to several people and prompted immediate rescue operations. While details of the collapse are still being verified, the news reached Goa while the inauguration was underway.
Reacting to the development, Shah announced that the event would be shortened out of respect for the victims and to underscore the party’s commitment to public safety. He assured that the inauguration would be rescheduled once the situation in Delhi stabilises.
Party workers present expressed support for the decision, noting that safety considerations must take precedence over ceremonial proceedings.
