A woman died after falling into a drain when an iron bridge collapsed in Delhi’s Roop Nagar on Tuesday morning, officials said. The structure gave way suddenly, causing her to fall into the water. Rescue teams from the Boat Club are searching the drain to check if more people were affected. Officials said the operation is ongoing. The incident comes amid concerns over safety lapses in the city. Several deaths linked to open pits and unsafe road work have been reported this year. In a recent case, a man died after falling into an uncovered pit in Janakpuri. Police had arrested a contractor in that case. (PC: HT)
