A 19-year-old student, Neeraj, was rescued from the rubble of a building collapse in Satya Niketan, Delhi. The incident occurred when the building, which was being used as a paying guest accommodation, suddenly collapsed, trapping Neeraj underneath.

Rescuers were able to locate Neeraj after he used his phone to send his live location to his friends. This crucial information helped the rescue team to pinpoint his location and start the rescue operation.

Neeraj's family, who are from Jammu, were able to recognize him on TV, thanks to a rakhi on his wrist that his sister had tied.

In the meantime, Neeraj's family and friends are praying for his speedy recovery and are grateful for the support they have received from the community. The incident is a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing safety and taking proactive measures to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
