Summary:
GHAZIABAD: At least one labourer was killed and eight others were injured when an under-construction five-storey illegal building collapsed in Ghaziabad on Sunday. Prima facie, it appears the building collapsed as poor quality construction material was used. Seven injured workers were taken out from the debris and sent to the government hospital in Sanjay Nagar. The building has collapsed in a pancake style—successive floors till the ground floor have piled upon each other,” said commandant, NDRF, PK Srivastava.“The building was unauthorized. Doctors at the Sanjay Nagar hospital said one male patient, presumed to be around 35 years old, was brought dead.“Three patients, including two minor kids, were referred to GTB Hospital in Delhi..
