In a swift rescue operation, four people were safely extricated from an under-construction building after a basement wall collapsed in southwest Delhi's Safdarjung Enclave on Thursday evening. The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) responded promptly to the emergency call received at 6:09 pm.

According to officials, five individuals were initially reported trapped under the debris. However, one person was already rescued by locals before the DFS vehicles arrived on the scene. The remaining four were subsequently rescued by DFS teams, with crucial support from the Delhi Police.

The injured workers have been transported to the AIIMS Trauma Centre for medical attention. Construction was ongoing when the incident occurred, causing a portion of the wall to cave in and trap workers inside.
