Five People and Pet Dog Rescued After House Roof Collapses in Malka Ganj

On Thursday, June 25, 2026, four women, a five-month-old infant, and a pet dog were rescued after the roof and staircase of a residential house collapsed in Malka Ganj, located in north Delhi’s Subzi Mandi area.

The collapse left the occupants stranded on the first floor of the building, prompting an emergency response. The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) deployed four units to the spot in Malka Ganj to conduct the rescue operation.

The incident involved the collapse of the roof as well as the staircase leading to the first floor, which completely blocked the exit route for the residents inside.

To safely evacuate those trapped on the first floor, fire officials utilized safety belts and ladders. Among those successfully rescued from the collapsed structure were a 40-year-old woman with a physical disability, the five-month-old infant, and the pet dog.

Visuals from the scene showed that while the outer walls of the residential structure remained standing, the roof had caved in. During the rescue, a DFS official carried the infant to safety.

No casualties were reported from the incident. The exact cause of the structural collapse is yet to be ascertained.
