New Delhi, May 2 (PTI) A 28-year-old woman and her three children died when a house collapsed in Delhi's Najafgarh following heavy rains in the national capital Friday morning, officials said.
     A tree fell on the house following strong gusty winds that accompanied rains in the city, causing it to collapse, they said.
     The woman Jyoti, and her children -- Aryan (7), Rishabh (5), Priyansh (7 months) -- died in the incident while her husband Ajay (30) sustained minor injuries in his chest and wrist.
     In Dwarka's Chhawla area, 41-year-old Omprakash (41) and his two sons -- Love (13) and Saurabh (15) -- received minor injuries in a wall collapse, a senior police officer said.
     Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Ankit Singh said at 5.26 am, a PCR call was received reporting the house collapse. When police reached the spot, it was found that due to strong winds, a neem tree had fallen on a room built in Kharkhari Nahar village near Jaffarpur Kalan in Dwarka district, causing it to collapse, Singh said.
     A woman, her husband and their three children were trapped under the debris, he said.
     "With the help of the police and fire department, they were pulled out of the rubble and shifted to a nearby hospital in Jaffarpur Kalan, where four of them were declared dead," the officer said.
     The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said it received a call about the incident at 5.25 am. "We deployed multiple teams to the spot and four people were rescued from the rubble," a DFS official said.
     Singh added that at 5.30 am, a PCR call was received at Chhawla police station in which three people were injured in a wall collapse at Paparawat village near Prahlad Mandir.
     "No serious injury has been reported to any of the three yet. CAT ambulance has taken all three to a hospital. Injured are out of danger," he said.
     Heavy rains and strong winds affected flight operations and disrupted traffic due to waterlogging in the city. Trees were uprooted in many parts of Delhi that also saw a dust storm early morning.
     An official of the DFS said they have received 80 calls since 5 am, including complaints of fallen trees.
