At least four people were killed and 25 injured when a part of an under-construction flyover of the Delhi Metro collapsed here Sunday morning, officials said.
The accident occurred at around 7 a.m. in Laxmi Nagar locality of east Delhi when a machine aiding in the construction of the over-bridge collapsed, leading to a part of the flyover coming down, a Delhi Metro official said.
A Blueline bus plying on route number 39, one crane of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)and several cars are trapped under the debris of the flyover. Delhi Police has taken over the rescue operation and at least 10 people have been rescued and taken to nearby hospitals, the official added.

Now, Amitabh gets the home blues


"Inactivity is a curse. Deliberate inactivity, even worse...You get up without an aim. You attend to papers and morning formalities without an anxiety of what is needed to be done next,' Bachchan Sunday wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com from his Prateeksha residence.
'You remain sluggish and carefree. There is no schedule. Nowhere particular to go. To see, to meet, to administer. Time, therefore, is insufficient."
"There is no routine...When will I do something that is routine bound... I must be in routine. In activity. In work. In camera," the blog further read.
He also condemned his idleness as a reaper of negative thoughts and wanted to get back to planned "activity".
"In idleness there is only thought which harbors destruction. It is passive. Negative and undesirable...I need to breathe activity. I shall become a lifeless morsel to be devoured, if not," he wrote.
The superstar slammed giving up in life due to various reasons as "failure" and termed it "abject resignation".
"I must resign only when my desire to not breathe prevails. Right now, I am desirous of a deep breath," he added.
Diagnosed with incisional hernia, Bachchan had been in the Lilavati hospital for a week and was discharged Friday.
