Jaipur Municipal Corporation (Heritage) Commissioner Abhishek Surana reported that municipal teams and civil defense workers are actively conducting the rescue operation. Surana stated, “We are focused on determining if there are people trapped inside the building. Some shop owners involved in the construction are missing. We are working to locate them, but our primary concern is rescuing anyone trapped inside.”

At the time of this report, JCB machines were still removing debris from the site.

Local shopkeeper Aditya criticized the situation, claiming that construction continued for a year without adhering to safety norms. He attributed this negligence to the municipal officials who ignored complaints.
