Tension prevailed late in the night as three persons died and few others injured after a dilapidated house collapsed at Poosala Basti in Saidabad triggering panic among the locals in the night. Police officials said it would take more than three hours to find out whether anyone was trapped under the debris.

While some locals reported that a family was staying in the building, others maintained that the house was lying abandoned for the last few months. Fire-fighters, who were attending to the rescue operations, said that efforts were on to remove debris in coordination with the police personnel and GHMC officials. Earth removers were pressed into service to remove debris, when reports last came in, late in the night.
