A tragic incident occurred on the night of September 22, 2025, when a three-storey building collapsed in Indore's Ranipura locality, near Daulatganj. The collapse resulted in the death of two individuals and left 12 others injured. Among the deceased were Alfia, a 20-year-old woman, and her uncle, Faimuddin Ansari. The injured, including a three-month-old baby girl and a seven-year-old boy, were admitted to Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital, with four in critical condition. Rescue operations were launched promptly, with teams working through the night to extricate survivors from the rubble. The building, approximately 8 to 10 years old, reportedly had stagnant water accumulation beneath its foundation, which may have contributed to the collapse. Preliminary investigations suggest that the structure had been weakened by prolonged water exposure. Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava confirmed that the building was around 8 to 10 years old and that part of it had fallen onto a neighboring structure. Authorities have initiated an inquiry to determine the exact cause of the collapse and to assess the structural integrity of similar buildings in the area. The incident has raised concerns about the safety standards of older buildings in Indore, prompting calls for stricter enforcement of building regulations and regular inspections to prevent such tragedies in the future. #news #Newsone #IndoreBuildingCollapse #BuildingSafety #StructuralCollapse #EmergencyResponse #UrbanSafety #AccidentNews #CityNews #SafetyStandards
