Three people lost their lives, and two others were rescued, while 12 workers are feared trapped after an under-construction building collapsed in Babusapalya, located in the Hennur area of Bengaluru. The incident occurred during heavy rainfall, according to officials.
Fire and emergency services deployed two rescue vans to the site, where efforts to locate survivors or recover bodies are ongoing. "We are working in coordination with multiple agencies to carry out rescue operations," said a senior police official.
The Fire and Emergency Services confirmed that three bodies have been recovered so far. A fire department official stated that the collapse buried several workers under the rubble, and investigations suggest that the building's complete collapse led to the entrapment of the victims.
Rescue operations continue in hopes of finding more survivors amidst the debris.
