In a tragic incident on Monday morning, a man lost his life when a dilapidated three-storey building collapsed in Ahmedabad City, Gujarat. The local police reported that five others sustained minor injuries but were successfully rescued from the scene.

The building, which had stood for nearly 60 years and was located in the Mithakhai Gam locality, collapsed at approximately 7:00 am, as stated by Navrangpura police inspector AA Desai.
