Rescuers searched for trapped students as authorities said six people were dead and questioned alleged irregularities in the building’s approvals.
- Six people died following a PG building collapse at Satya Niketan on Sunday, with police receiving a call at 1:30 pm and rescue teams including the NDRF and CATS ambulances continuing operations to locate trapped students.
- Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda questioned the lack of accountability following the collapse, alleging irregularities in the building's construction approval and citing similar 'heartbreaking accidents' occurring over the past three to four years.
- Police from the South Campus station discovered students trapped inside the PG accommodation, prompting the NDRF and CATS ambulances to join rescue efforts; some students were immediately rescued and sent to hospitals.
- Hooda alleged officials 'take commissions to grant permissions for anything and everything,' calling the government 'a total failure,' while Congress leader Srinivas alleged the administration delayed rescue operations by two hours.
