When senior superintendent of police Vaibhav Krishna reached the spot, the locals said that the building was a shelter for labourers since it was yet to be completed.PTI quoting Ghazibad police reported that there was no reports of more people being trapped in the collapsed structure.The building collapse was a result of poor construction that was affected due to the rains, said Maheshwari, who along with Ghaziabad SSP Vaibhav Krishna reached the building collapse site."Prima facie, it seems the building collapse was a result of poor construction that was affected due to the rains. A magisterial probe has been ordered into the incident through ADM (Finance & Revenue). Some more labourers are feared trapped inside the debris.
