Indian media reported today, Saturday, that at least 7 individuals, including two children, lost their lives due to a wall collapse following heavy rainfall in the capital, New Delhi.
Reports quoted senior police official Aishwarya Sharma saying that the bodies of the deceased were retrieved from under the rubble and taken to a hospital after heavy rains fell on Friday evening, noting that they were temporary workers and members of their families.
After a brief pause, the heavy monsoon rains returned to most parts of New Delhi, which has a population of around 20 million, causing streets to flood and disrupting traffic.
