Rescue efforts following the Saket building collapse are nearing their conclusion, with emergency teams still at the site as a precautionary measure to ensure no one is trapped in the debris, according to officials.
The Delhi Fire Service maintains a vigilant presence, poised to sweep every part of the area thoroughly.
