At least two people died after a building collapsed in Mohali's Dera Bassi area on Thursday, officials said. "There are two casualties in the incident," Dera Bassi Sub Divisional Magistrate Kuldeep Bawa said.

Rescue operations at the site of the building collapse are underway.

Some more people may be trapped under the debris, officials said.

The incident comes just two days after a three-storeyed building collapsed Maharashtra's Thane claiming 20 lives and leaving several others injured. The 43-year-old building at Bhiwandi, a power loom town around 10 km from Thane, had 40 flats and around 150 persons lived there.
