The incident occurred in Sector 7 of Rohini, where the structure housed multiple commercial establishments. The exact cause of the collapse remains unknown, and officials are currently assessing the extent of the damage. A video from the site shows the immediate aftermath of the collapse, with dust and debris covering the area.
