This is heartbreaking 💔. Mathura is a densely populated area, and building collapses are becoming too frequent. Authorities need to conduct strict audits of old structures. Praying for those trapped under the debris.

Why do we wait for tragedies to happen before taking action? Municipal corporations must proactively identify weak buildings, especially in heritage cities like Mathura. Hope rescue teams find survivors soon.

The speed of response matters in such situations. Good to see police and municipal teams acting quickly. But we need better urban planning - these old buildings can't handle extra floors being added illegally.

My cousin lives near Masani area. These buildings are very old but landlords keep renting them out without maintenance. Government should make structural audits compulsory every 5 years. #SafetyFirst

While rescue efforts are commendable, we need accountability. Was this building marked as dangerous earlier? How many warnings were ignored? This pattern repeats across UP - Lucknow, Kanpur, now Mathura.

Heart goes out to affected families 🙏. Beyond rescue, we need proper rehabilitation for survivors. Many lose everything in such incidents - documents, savings, livelihoods. Government should have permanent disaster relief protocols.
