According to the officials of the Delhi Fire Service (DFS), a call regarding a wall collapse was received at 5.30 am and two fire tenders were pressed into service.

Some construction workers are feared to be trapped in the mud slush but the exact numbers are yet to be ascertained, a senior police officer said.
