“One person has died while several others are trapped under the debris. We have saved a woman. At least 15 people also suffered injuries, an official said.

He said the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has been deployed for rescue efforts along with emergency responders including police and fire department personnel.

A fire department official said they could not confirm the exact number of people trapped as many workers working the night shift were sleeping in their rooms when the building collapsed.
