Noida Police Commissioner Alok Singh and DM Suhas Lalinakere met the injured admitted to Yathiraj District Hospital in connection with the wall collapse in Sector-21, Noida.

Air Vice Marshal Pradeep Kumar, president of Jalvayu Vihar RWA, said that the accident occurred due to the collapse of the sector wall adjoining the drain towards gate number one. He told that about four years ago the sector wall was built apart from the drain wall. Three or four days ago some people took out the soil from the banks of the drain, which weakened the foundation of the boundary wall of the sector.
