Rescue operations resumed on Sunday, with teams from the NDRF and Army joining the effort. According to NDRF officials, five people were buried under the debris when the four-storey building collapsed on Saturday, likely due to digging work being carried out in an adjacent building's basement. A 20-year-old woman from Himachal Pradesh had succumbed to her injuries on Saturday. Police have filed charges against the two building owners.
