New Delhi: Dramatic visuals of a four-storey building collapse in the national capital went viral on social media on Monday.
The incident reportedly occurred in the morning on Monday in North Delhi’s Shastri Nagar.
“No injury or casualties were reported since the building was empty,” a senior police officer said, adding that the incident was reported around 8:45 am.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi said the building’s owner Balraj Arora got it vacated in May after it developed cracks. The matter was brought to the knowledge of the municipal agency.
