Family rescued alive from collapsed building in Burari after 24 hours, rescue operation ongoing, 5 dead, 21 rescued.
More than 24 hours after a multi-storey building collapsed in Burari, four members of a family were pulled out alive from the debris in a late-night operation, officials said on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
Those rescued on Tuesday night — a couple and their two minor sons — have been hospitalised, they said.
The family was trapped inside a pocket of space that was created after a ceiling slab of the newly constructed building fell on a cooking gas cylinder. It prevented the family members from being crushed under the debris, according to the officials.
The four-storey residential building near Oscar Public School collapsed on Monday evening, killing five people, including two minors.

So far 21 people have been pulled out from the rubble. While 16 of them were alive, five died, he said.
