A hostel in New Delhi, India, collapsed, resulting in the death of seven people. The incident occurred in an urban area of the Indian capital.
The collapse happened during the monsoon season, a period that extends from June to September. During this season, intense and prolonged rains hit several regions of the country.
In India, building collapse is a recurring risk during the monsoon season. The constant rain tends to weaken old structures, increasing the likelihood of accidents of this nature.
