The National Disaster Response Force was pressed into service soon after the incident and rescue and search operations were underway, police said. "So far, we have pulled out one body and rescued one person trapped in the debris," a senior NDRF official said. The Ghaziabad police said in a tweet that some labourers were rescued and sent to a hospital.
