Two Dead, Several Trapped in Mohali Building Collapse

Rescue operations continue in Punjab's Mohali after a four-storey building collapsed, with authorities investigating unapproved excavation as the cause.

A four-storey building in Sohana village, Mohali, collapsed on Saturday evening, killing two people and leaving several others trapped under the rubble.
The victims include a 20-year-old woman from Himachal Pradesh and a man from Haryana, with rescue teams working to locate other missing individuals.
Authorities have attributed the collapse to unapproved excavation on an adjacent plot, which caused the land to sink and destabilize the structure.
The Indian Army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and local agencies have been conducting a multi-agency rescue operation since the incident occurred.
The building owners, Parwinder Singh and Gagandeep Singh, have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has vowed action against those responsible.
