SHIKARPUR: A tragic house collapse in the Mohalla Chainpura area of Shikarpur town, Bulandshahr, claimed the life of a young child and left an elderly couple battling serious injuries on Tuesday. The quiet neighborhood was jolted when a structural wall of the residence suddenly gave way, burying the occupants under a heap of heavy debris. Local residents rushed to the spot to initiate a rescue operation, but the intensity of the collapse left little room for a miracle for the minor, who succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

The injured elderly couple was pulled from the wreckage in critical condition and immediately rushed to a nearby medical facility for emergency treatment. Upon receiving the distress call, senior administrative officials and police personnel arrived at the site to oversee the relief operations and maintain order. The local administration has since moved to pacify the grieving family, extending assurances of immediate financial compensation and administrative support to help them navigate the aftermath of the tragedy.

Law enforcement authorities have taken custody of the child's body, completing the necessary 'panchnama' formalities before sending it for a post-mortem examination. Meanwhile, a formal investigation has been launched to determine the underlying cause of the structural failure, with officials examining whether the collapse was a result of the building’s aging infrastructure or other external factors. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, raising urgent questions regarding the safety of old constructions in densely populated urban pockets.
