A three-storey building collapsed in the northern part of Indian capital New Delhi on Saturday early morning, causing four people killed and many are feared trapped, local media reported.
The building collapsed around 9 a.m. in North Delhi's Inderlok area. Three fire brigades have been rushed to the spot.
Twelve people have been rescued so far while four are grievously injured. Many others are feared to be still trapped inside.
"A total of twelve people have been rescued and taken to the hospital, while four JCB machines were rushed to the spot to remove the debris. The rescue work is under progress," an official supervising the rescue operations added.
"The building was around 50 years old and a number of families lived in it. Search and rescue operations are on. Some more may be trapped in the rubble although the number cannot be ascertained as of now," said Deputy Commissioner of Police(North) Madhur Verma.
Some renovation work had reportedly been undertaken in the 50- year-old building recently.
