A section of the outer wall of an old residential building gave way in the Karol Bagh neighbourhood of Delhi, causing the structure to partially collapse. The sudden failure injured multiple occupants and resulted in one fatality, as reported by local media.

Emergency responders, including Delhi Police, fire‑service units and municipal workers, arrived at the scene within minutes. Rescue crews have been using hand tools and cutting equipment to reach those trapped under debris, while medical teams attend to the injured on site.
