Overview

• Rescue teams from the SDRF, NDRF, police and local disaster management have been working since early morning to recover five labourers still trapped under a 10-foot trench near Jangi Ka Nagla.
• Earlier in the day, seven labourers were pulled from the collapsed soil; two—Ankul, 22, and Vimla Devi, 45—died, and five were injured and admitted to the district hospital.
• The site lies between Jangi Ka Nagla and Daulatgarh under the Gehndoli Mode police station in Bharatpur district, where digging is part of the Chambal drinking water pipeline project.
• Monsoon rains have saturated the soil, causing instability that officials say likely triggered the cave-in and is complicating rescue operations.
• Authorities are monitoring weather forecasts closely to plan further excavation and prevent additional collapses as the operation continues.
