NEW DELHI (AP) \u2014 A building collapsed in New Delhi on Sunday, killing at least one person and trapping dozens of others, officials said.<\/p>\n

The five-story building, which housed a boys\u2019 hostel, collapsed in Satya Niketan, a densely populated neighborhood known for its private student accommodations near a Delhi University campus.<\/p>\n

Fire officer Abhilash Malik said about 30 to 40 people remained trapped in the rubble.<\/p>\n

Lawmaker Anil Sharma said some people had been rescued and several others trapped inside were making phone calls for help while rescuers remained in contact with them.<\/p>\n

Police, firefighters and crews from India’s disaster response agency searched the rubble as earthmovers cleared debris to help rescuers reach those trapped inside.<\/p>\n

At least two people were hospitalized in critical condition, officials said.<\/p>\n

The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.<\/p>\n

Building collapses are a recurring hazard in parts of India during the June-to-September monsoon, when heavy or prolonged rain can weaken ageing structures.<\/p>\n
