A two-storey building collapsed in Chandigarh’s Industrial Area, killing two people and trapping several others under the debris. Rescue teams, including police, fire services, and emergency response personnel, rushed to the spot and launched a search-and-rescue operation. Five people were successfully rescued and shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The two deceased were reportedly associated with the automobile business, with operations spread across North India. Officials recovered their bodies during the rescue operation, while emergency teams worked for several hours to ensure no one remained trapped beneath the rubble. The collapse triggered panic in the area, prompting authorities to cordon off the site.
Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the building collapse. Structural experts are expected to assess the site to ascertain whether the incident was caused by structural failure or other factors. Further action will be taken based on the findings of the inquiry, while officials have appealed to the public to stay away from the affected area until the site is declared safe.
