"We have managed to retrieve the body of the woman after a very difficult rescue operation. The debris from the upper floors has fallen on the first floor. We are taking several precautionary measures to remove debris carefully," said a senior NDRF official.
Two rescued so far
According to NDRF officials, the operation was risky because some chunks of the rubble and plaster had started falling from the upper floors and the entire load of the structure was now on the first floor and the basement.
The team had used several jacks to support the pillar of the building.
The officials said they could not take any risk as a little mistake could put the entire rescue team in risk.
So far, the team has managed to rescue two people.
