Ludhiana: Eyewitnesses and rescue operators at the factory roof collapse site at Baba Mukand Singh Nagar recall the scenes with horror and thanksgiving.
Among few persons who reached the spot after the incident was Harish Kumar Gona, a social worker who runs ‘Help Our Needy People’ organisation. “I, along with four members of our team, reached the spot around 10am. I saw that the roof had fallen on the shed and some part of it had dropped on the rear side where two autos were parked. We tried to rescue two persons, of whom we couldn’t save one and managed to save the other named Rehan. He was buried under the debris and we fed him water through a pipe and kept motivating him not to lose hope. Later, the government teams brought him out and we were happy to save his life. The collapse did cause damage to the neighbouring factory, where a foreman was working. He suffered serious injuries and is admitted to a private hospital.”
