A mysterious 'blast-like' sound at a residential society in Dwarka, Delhi, sparked panic. The Delhi Development Authority involved experts to investigate. The initial assessment links the explosion to accumulated gases and groundwater pressure. Remedial measures are underway to prevent recurrence.

In a startling incident, residents of Triveni Heights in Dwarka, Delhi, experienced a 'blast-like' sound originating from their building's basement on Sunday night, causing widespread panic in Sector 16B.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) promptly responded by consulting structural and geo-technical experts to determine the cause.
