Five-story building housing students collapses in Delhi's Satya Niketan neighborhood
A five-story building housing a boys' hostel collapsed on September 6, 2026, in Satya Niketan, a student neighborhood near Delhi University in New Delhi. Rescue operations continued into September 7, with the death toll rising from one to at least six or seven, and dozens feared trapped. Preliminary findings suggest water accumulation in the basement and ongoing repair work on the aging structure may have caused the collapse.
