Chandigarh/Mohali, December 21, 2024: A multi-storey building collapsed in Sohana, Mohali, triggering chaos as authorities rushed to the scene.
According to reports, several people are feared trapped beneath the rubble, with police and administrative officials coordinating ongoing rescue operations.
The incident occurred in a residential area, where debris from the collapsed structure has scattered extensively.
Large crowds have gathered at the site, adding to the challenges faced by rescuers.
Initial reports suggest the collapse was caused by excavation work for the basement of an adjacent under-construction building. The foundation of the ill-fated structure reportedly weakened due to the digging, leading to its failure.
The building housed several gyms, though it remains unclear how many occupants were present at the time of the collapse.
Efforts to locate survivors and clear the debris continue as officials investigate the cause.
