Three laborers died and one person was injured after a two-story commercial building collapsed in Mohali's Dera Bassi area on Thursday, an official said. "Three bodies have been taken out," said Mohali Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan. Those killed were identified as Gopi, Raju and Ramesh, the official said.

The building owner suffered injuries on his head and was taken to a hospital. The rescue operation is underway and a team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is trying to find out if more people are trapped under the debris.

The building in Mira Malli mohalla collapsed after the roof of an under-construction shop on the second floor caved in at around 9.30 am, said officials.
