- NEW DELHI: Broken beams and mounds of clay lay in heaps Wednesday where a three-story residential building collapsed in the Indian capital, killing at least seven people and highlighting the dangerous housing conditions among the city's poor.
Residents said they feared some people may still be trapped in the rubble from the decades-old building that fell Tuesday night in Old Delhi around the time when people would have been home for dinner or getting ready for bed.
Rescuers using small diggers and pickaxes to clear the debris Wednesday freed a young boy trapped as he was passing by the building when it fell in the congested Chandni Mahal area of old Delhi.
