Father and son killed as building collapses in Delhi's Harsh Vihar

Father and son killed as building collapses in Delhi's Harsh Vihar

The two men, who had taken the construction contract, were pulled out of the debris overnight; police say action is being started against the owner.

A 60-year-old man and his 33-year-old son died when an under-construction building collapsed in northeast Delhi's Harsh Vihar on Sunday evening.

A new first floor had been built on top of an old ground-floor structure reportedly used as a godown, and both collapsed.

It follows deadly collapses in New Seemapuri, a boys' hostel and Saidulajab since May.
