Three labourers were tragically found dead on Saturday following the collapse of a wall at a construction site in Delhi's Vasant Vihar area, officials confirmed. The incident, catalyzed by heavy rainfall, brings the city's death toll from rain-related incidents to eight.

The under-construction wall caved in on Friday, with the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) receiving an emergency call around 5:30 am. Cranes were utilized to clear debris while water was pumped out from the foundation pit to retrieve the bodies.

A rigorous search operation is ongoing, involving teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), and local civic agencies to ensure no other individuals remain trapped under the rubble.
