00:54brace bridge. Anirban is joining me for the latest on that. Anirban also sent us this ground
01:00report. Let's take a look at that.
01:02Construction building collapsed in Kolkata's brace bridge area and right now we can see this
01:08is the construction site and the three-storied building over here has collapsed and the whole
01:14area we can see the beam of the building as well as all the cement and the ceilings has fell
01:20down
01:21after this incident and what happened right now we can know is around 40 to 50 people as per the
01:29locals.
01:29As per the locals there are 40 to 50 people those who are trapped inside this and already seven people
01:37has been rescued by the Kolkata police disaster management as well as by the fire brigade of West
01:44Bengal. And everyone is working to rescue the people they have trapped inside and what we have learned
01:54right now the minister of Bengal Agni Mitra Paul as well as Indra Neel Khan and the municipal commissioner
02:02Kolkata municipal commissioner reached here to access the situation over here. As we can see the gas
02:08the gas cutter the cranes and the machines is is being here to rescue the people as the locals are
02:20claiming
02:20that 40 to 50 people were trapped inside. So it's a huge situation right now in the brace bridge area
02:26of Taratala as we can see that many of the ministers are visiting the spot and there were many being
02:34uh fear trapped inside and right now we have to see whether uh the debt count or anything else will
02:42increase or not but uh right now seven people has been rescued with camera person listen low the
02:48nirban scenario for india today kolkata. All right anirban is going to track all the latest on that and he's
02:56telling us what precisely is he's happening and uh location there when arunbar is live also now anirban go
03:04ahead what is the latest status are any workers even now trapped what is being done to clear it
03:14well see what we have learned right now is this is the construction this is the construction site we
03:19are just standing outside and uh there is a rescue operation going on inside as uh the media uh now
03:25was
03:25not allowed as we can see that the ndrf team uh the quick response team of defense and the defense
03:32personalities as well as all uh the army men uh were being uh engaged in this rescue operation
03:38and also along with the disaster management uh as well as the fire brigade and kolkata police
03:46everyone is working around around this construction site where the building has been collapsed and whether
03:52how many people are under the debris that is the question right now because as per the disaster
03:57management they have said that they have already rescued five to seven people and they were being
04:02sent to hospitals and uh as as as per the locals as what we have learned from the locals they
04:08are
04:08claiming the locals are claiming that 40 to 50 people were under the debris so that's why that the
04:13question is raising as as the officially has not been conveyed anything to the media and what we have
04:20learned inside that agnimitra paul as well as indroneel khan and the municipal corporation kolkata
04:25police cp everyone is there looking after the rescue operation and in few time in few minutes uh we are
04:31hoping that the cm uh shubendu adhikari will come over here but what is the official uh official uh figure
04:39that is not clear yet at as we have seen that seven five to seven ambulance has gone uh to
04:46the hospitals
04:46from this uh the rescue site and right now what we can see that the ndrf team as well as
04:52uh the all the
04:54teams the uh the the keyword the quick response team of defense because uh the kolkata police as
04:59well as the west bengal government is using the army men and the quick response team of the defense
05:05as well as the army and that's why what we have seen is everyone is it centrally in as well
05:11as the
05:11state teams everyone is working inside as if if as per the claim if the number goes the figures goes
05:19to uh 40 or 50 that will be a very big figure so that's why everyone is very much formed
05:26about it
05:27and they are uh already risk as working for the rescue and what we can see that a few food
05:34items
05:35are also being taken inside water and medicine and all all the doctors and and the pharmacist has gone
05:42inside uh to treat the people those who are inside so that they cannot so that they were not
05:49uh collapsed inside so that's why uh it's it's uh it's a very uh pathetic situation as we can see
05:55the
05:55locals are also here because a few of the locals those who are those who the people the families
06:01those who are working over here all the all the people the locals were here and that's why what uh
06:07we can see is everyone is very tense that what is the exact figure that has been not been conveyed
06:13by the government itself so we are waiting for the official figure what will be the official figure
06:18as disaster management said five to seven people were rescued and taken to that's the location
06:23again another one where the bridge was located in some time and what is it looking like right now
06:33well see this is the south of kolkata and uh uh it's near behala area that this is tara tala
06:40and uh and the braze bridge area and now we can see that another another ambulance is going another
06:46ambulance is going and we have seen that one people were is lying down there and he is alive he
06:55is
06:55alive what we have seen he is alive and he is responding inside the ambulance and one ambulance has gone
07:01right now so maybe it's it's five to seven to five to eight maybe uh but the official information has
07:08not
07:08given the official figure has not given so uh each and everyone will be rescued as the government has
07:14already said that their priority the prime priority is to rescue everyone from the from inside from the
07:20debris that has been fell down and that's why the government as well as all the people over all the
07:26departments all the team are working unitedly and and and very efficiently what we have seen what do you
07:33hear what exactly happened any details of uh how was it under construction bridge shed a fall in a manner
07:43that can possibly lead to casualties well maybe there is a possibility of casualties but right now there is
07:57nothing being conveyed or nothing being known as such but uh what happened uh the building uh
08:03is the three-story building where uh the construction was going on and uh and the construction uh was
08:10being done in the first floor of the building as as per the locals and after that what happened the
08:16entire building uh the whole area collapsed and this is a very big area what we have seen inside
08:21that uh that's a very big area and many many square feet uh bigger so that's why that that has
08:27been
08:27collapsed uh uh entirely and after that what we have seen that the people uh those who were working
08:34were uh trapped inside this debris a terrible tragedy and it's a developing story we'll be tracking more
08:40on that anirban uh is on the ground he's getting us all the details but again to find out what
08:45exactly
08:45happened and look at the material the construction material used in the bridge clearly shows that those
08:50who would have been trapped inside have received grievous injuries
