Mumbai: Even after 27 hours of the mishap, the rescue teams have recovered thirteen dead bodies and several still are said to be missing after a residential building collapsed in Maharashtra’s Raigad district on Monday evening. The search and rescue operation is expected to continue even tonight.

According to Nidhi Chaudhary, the collector of Raigad district,”The search operation would continue tonight also. As per the live list we had, four more people are yet to be searched or if anyone from outside has entered at the last minute in the building then that is to be checked. More than 60 people have been rescued since yesterday.

Till now 13 dead bodies were removed, a four-year-old boy was safely rescued, and out of the 8 rescued, one is in critical condition and the condition of 7 others are said to be stable. As of now, we are hopeful that only four names which we have in our list are only missing. There is no missing complaint of anyone from the near by areas.”
