New Delhi

At least 5 people were killed and several others sustained injuries after a boundary wall of an under-construction godown collapsed in the national capital on Friday afternoon.

According to the Delhi Police, "Over a dozen people were rescued from the accident site, of which five people have succumbed to their injuries.”

Six fire tenders were rushed to the spot for rescue operations.

The local police have set a perimeter for the people to keep them away from the incident site as an intense rescue operation was going on to save any person who might be still trapped under the debris.
