How did the building collapse?
The exact cause of this accident is not yet known. But preliminary information suggests that the building must be very old or there must be something wrong with its construction. It has been raining for the past few days, so the foundation of the building may have been weakened by water. But this information will come out only after enquiry.

The most important thing right now is to safely evacuate the students trapped under the debris. The attention of the entire country is now on this rescue operation in Delhi. We pray to God that all the students come out safely. Due to this incident, the issue of safety of old buildings in Delhi has once again come to the fore.
