According to a Aaj News report, rescue teams had retrieved several more dead bodies from the rubble since last night.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Central) Arif Aslam Rao has said that the rescue operation has been slow as they fear that there are more people stuck in the rubble.

He added that the rubble has to be moved carefully as they believe nearby buildings may also collapse.

“The nearby buildings have been vacated as well due to this situation,” said SSP Rao. He added that the rescue operation was also facing difficulties due to narrow streets and may continue throughout the day.
