After four challenging days of rescue attempts at Irsalwadi village in Raigad, the state government made the difficult decision of calling off the operation on Sunday, with 57 bodies still trapped under the rubble. The village continues to emit a foul smell, and the rescue teams have also had to contend with heavy rain and other compelling obstacles through their mission. 

Despite this, the dedicated officials managed to recover 27 bodies from the debris and rescue around 143 people following the devastating landslide that struck the village on Wednesday night.
