Roof of Gurugram high-rise collapses, 2 dead, several feared trapped

A shocking instance of the collapse of a roof of a building, which left at least two people dead and several trapped, has shaken taken the Millennium City residents. The incident took place at Chintels Paradiso housing complex in Gurugram’s Sector 109. 

Initial reports said the living room floor of a sixth-floor apartment at the 18-floor Chintels Paradiso housing complex first came down, triggering the collapse of roofs and floors directly under it, the media reported. A team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was sent to rescue the trapped people. 

“Prima facie, construction work on the sixth floor could have led to the collapse of only dining areas (in flats) from 6-1 floors. Other rooms of the same floors remained intact. An enquiry will be ordered and action will be taken in case of lapses,” Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, Nishant Yadav said.
