Tamo Dadda, assistant commissioner of the city, said seven workers were at the site when the wall collapsed. Rescue work was hampered due to continuous rainfall, posing challenges for the teams to locate the trapped victims. “Because of the rain, the soil became dense and unstable, making it difficult to determine the precise location of the victims. The rescue teams, though, made every possible effort to retrieve them,” Dadda said. Personnel from the State Disaster Response Force, along with Itanagar police and district administration officials, launched rescue operation after being notified about the incident.
