Two people were killed when a building under construction collapsed in Old Delhi's Chawri Bazaar on Thursday morning, local media reported. A third person was pulled out injured.
 
The collapse happened in Gali Sitara, near Chawri Bazaar Metro station. The first alerts came around 10 a.m. local time. Six fire units were sent to the site, and it was initially unclear how many people had been inside. 
 
The accident hit a crowded wholesale market amid the festive shopping rush. It comes two months after a building collapsed in the crowded Satya Niketan area frequented by college students, killing seven people. ALSO READ: Bengaluru Shocker: Employer Beats 24-Year-Old Employee to Death After Catching Him With Daughter at Home
