The incident of the house collapse occurred only a few hours after a sudden change in Delhi’s weather on Friday night when heavy rains and thunderstorms whipped several parts of the city.
In a separate incident last week, a wall of a building under construction collapsed a storm of severe dust near the Madhu Vihar Police Station, leaving a dead person and two other wounds.
