Teenage girl injured as terrace collapses in Delhi's Ranhola

A 17-year-old girl was injured when terrace of a single-storey building collapsed in Ranhola area of West Delhi this morning.
A Delhi Fire Service officer said they received a call about the collapse at 10.46 AM and two fire tenders were rushed to the spot.
Besides Fire Service personnel, various other agencies including police and MCD, also took part in the rescue work.
Roshni was injured and is currently in hospital. Her parents did not sustain any injury, police said.
They said the owners of the house had built a washroom on the first floor although the foundation of the building was weak.

"The cause of the collapse is suspected to be the rickety nature of the building. It was an old building and had a quite weak base. They had constructed a bathroom in a shed on the top floor which had put further pressure on the building," said a police officer.
