INDIA: Indian rescue teams searched through the rubble of a building collapse in New Delhi on Monday, a day after the five-storey block collapsed, resulting in at least six fatalities, officials reported.
Emergency teams fear there are people still trapped in the rubble.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), which treated victims from the collapse, said its trauma center received 10 people.
"Out of the 10 patients, five were brought dead, while one patient who was in critical condition later succumbed to his injuries," AIIMS said in a statement.
Disaster agency teams, as well as fire and police teams, are using heavy machinery and sniffer dogs to locate anyone who may be trapped.
The Satya Niketan area is home to hundreds of university students living in crowded accommodation. Building collapses are frequent in India, and illegal structures are common.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the incident was "distressing."
The collapse of a flyover in eastern India, which killed at least 25 people, is one of many deadly accidents of its kind to occur in recent years, with poor construction often to blame.
An 11-storey apartment tower under construction on the outskirts of the southern city of Chennai crashes down following heavy rains. The accident kills 61 people, mainly laborers.
Moreover, some 60 people are crushed to death when a five-storey building listed as needing urgent repairs collapses in India's financial hub Mumbai.
