Surat: One person died, and several people are feared trapped after a six-storey building collapsed in Surat’s Sachin Pali village following several days of heavy rain. Officials reported that one woman was rescued alive from the debris, and 15 people were injured. The building, which was constructed just eight years ago, contained 30 apartments, of which five were occupied.

Horrifying visuals from the site showed large concrete slabs piled on top of each other in a massive heap of rubble. Five families were inside the building when it collapsed, raising concerns that many could be trapped.

Police and fire department officials quickly arrived at the scene and began searching for survivors. Late in the evening, they recovered a body. A team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was also called in to assist with the rescue efforts.

Witnesses described the chaos that followed the collapse and their attempts to help those trapped. According to officials, despite its relatively recent construction, the building was in poor condition, leading to its partial vacancy.

Dr. Saurabh Parghi, Surat’s District Collector, stated, “A six-storey building collapsed. We rescued one woman a while ago. According to her, four or five more could be trapped inside. Teams of the NDRF and SDRF have been pressed into action. We are hopeful that we will be able to rescue the rest within a few hours.”
