Security cameras installed in a commercial complex recorded the instant a multi‑storey Punjab & Gujarat (PG) building in Delhi gave way, sending the structure crashing to the ground. The collapse, which occurred during the morning rush hour, was captured live on CCTV and quickly circulated on social media.
Emergency services arrived within minutes, deploying rescue teams, ambulances and fire‑units to the site. As of the latest update, six people have been confirmed dead, and several others remain trapped or have been rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Delhi officials have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the structural failure, with senior engineers and the municipal corporation conducting a forensic survey of the building.
