A section of the roof near Delhi’s Humayun’s Tomb complex has collapsed, prompting an urgent rescue operation by authorities.
The incident has raised safety concerns around the heritage site, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. According to officials, the collapse occurred earlier today, and emergency teams were quickly dispatched to the scene to assess the situation and ensure the safety of both visitors and staff.
While the exact cause of the collapse is yet to be determined, preliminary reports suggest that structural weakening due to ongoing weather conditions or material degradation could be responsible. Authorities have temporarily restricted entry to the affected area to avoid further risks, while engineers and conservation experts are inspecting the site for stability.
The Humayun’s Tomb complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a significant example of Mughal architecture and a popular tourist attraction in Delhi. Preservation of such heritage structures is a priority, and restoration efforts are expected to begin promptly after the safety review. Officials have urged the public to cooperate with safety protocols while the investigation and repair work are carried out.
