New Delhi, September 7 (Daily Kiran) : A devastating building collapse in the Satya Niketan area of New Delhi has left the community in shock. As of now, the tragedy has claimed the lives of seven individuals, including five students and two laborers, all of whom were residing in the area for their studies. The deceased were taken to the JPN Apex Trauma Center at AIIMS for treatment.
According to AIIMS, twelve injured victims were admitted to the trauma center. Six of these individuals were pronounced dead upon arrival, while one succumbed to injuries during treatment.
