Fireman Rohit Yadav and Chief Constable Driver Tirthpal Singh lost their lives in the collapse. Three other personnel, Rajpal Singh, Manish Kumar, and Amit Kumar, sustained injuries and were admitted to hospital for treatment. They are now reported to be in stable condition.
DCP Shailendra Kumar Singh confirmed the details of the incident. Police and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams remain at the site as investigations into the cause of the structural collapse continue.
The deaths of the two firefighters during the emergency response have underscored the dangers faced by rescue personnel, while the ongoing investigation is expected to determine the circumstances surrounding the collapse at the ILGIM unit.
