Delhi’s Humayun’s Tomb Complex Dome Collapse: Several Feared Trapped, Rescue On

Five people, including three women and two men, were killed on Friday evening after a portion of the roof of a room at Dargah Sharif Patte Shah collapsed near Humayun's Tomb in Delhi, police said.

According to officials, 11 people were rescued from the debris and rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. The collapse triggered an immediate rescue operation, with teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Fire Department, and local police reaching the spot within minutes.

The area around Humayun's Tomb was quickly sealed off to ensure public safety and allow uninterrupted rescue work. NDRF personnel carried out a detailed search inside the dargah premises to check if more people were trapped under the rubble.

Fire Department officials and emergency responders remained on-site to assist in the operations. "Eleven people have been rescued from the site of the incident and taken to a nearby hospital. The search operation is still underway," a Delhi Police spokesperson said.

Authorities have also deployed structural engineers to examine the damaged section and assess the stability of the surrounding structures. Investigators are working to determine the exact cause of the collapse.

The incident has drawn attention to the safety of older structures in the historic Nizamuddin area, which houses several centuries-old monuments.
