7 killed as residential building crumbles in Old Delhi
A four-story residential building collapsed in the Indian capital, killing at least seven people, The Associated Press reported.
Residents said they feared some people may still be trapped in the rubble from the decades-old building that fell Tuesday night in Old Delhi.
The area is known for its overcrowded buildings and loose wires crisscrossing narrow streets. Locals said they believed the building, built about eight decades ago from old construction materials, had been undergoing construction work that might have weakened the foundation.
