The house, located in Anand Nagar railway colony, had been declared ‘condemned’ and the family was advised to vacate the place, said officials.

Officials said that the roof collapsed at the time when one Satish Chandra (40) and his kin was fast asleep. Chandra, his wife and three children—all minor—died in the incident.

Deceased Satish’s mother worked with Railways and the home was allotted to her. After he passing, he was supposed to be given a job on humanitarian grounds as he was dependent on his mother.

Reportedly, the sanitation workers had alerted the police about the incident around 8 am. Along with police personnel, disaster management officials and fire department officials reached the spot.

The kin of five had been pulled out of the rubble by locals and the fire department officials had admitted them to a hospital nearest to the location. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath condoled their deaths.
