Six people sustained injuries after a single-storey building collapsed following an LPG cylinder explosion in Delhis Mukundpur area on Tuesday, according to officials. Delhi Police said six individuals were hurt in the incident, though the severity of their injuries has not yet been determined. Officials stated that their condition will be assessed after medical examinations. Preliminary information suggests that the building was being used for utensil polishing work.

Station House Officer Giriraj said the blast caused the collapse of a single-storey structure spread across approximately 250 square yards. Rescue teams were immediately deployed, and search operations remain underway to ensure no one is trapped beneath the debris. The Delhi Fire Service confirmed receiving an emergency call regarding the explosion and subsequent building collapse in Mukundpur. Firefighters and rescue personnel rushed to the scene and are continuing efforts to clear the site and locate any remaining victims.

Authorities are yet to release further details about the cause of the explosion, and an investigation is expected to follow once rescue operations conclude. In a separate incident earlier in the day, at least four people were injured in a cylinder blast in the Ajit Nagar area of East Delhis Shahdara district. According to Shahdara Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajendra Prasad Meena, the incident occurred around 1:30 pm. After receiving information about a fire at a residential property in Ajit Nagar, police personnel rushed to the location and found several people trapped on the first floor.

The officers successfully rescued a woman, her children, and her husband before shifting them to a hospital for treatment. Officials said all injured persons are receiving medical care. Preliminary findings indicate that a leaking gas cylinder pipe may have triggered the explosion. Authorities are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause.
