2 dead as building collapses in Welcome area

TWO employees of a garment factory died and another was injured when the two-storey building it was housed in collapsed in northeast Delhi's Welcome area early Thursday, the police said.

A call was received around 2.15 am reporting the collapse of the two-storey building, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said. Its first floor was vacant while the ground floor was being used as a jeans factory, he added.

"Three workers who were trapped under the debris were pulled out and rushed to the GTB Hospital, where two of them were declared dead," another officer said. The deceased are identified as Arshad (30) and Tauhid (20). Rehan (22) is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
