It was a black Saturday for two daily-wagers Mohd Rashid (31) and Mohd Naeem (38), occupants of the ill-fated four-storey building, which caved in on Saturday morning in Inderlok. Both Rashid and Naeem lost their wives and children in the tragedy.
At the time of the incident, Rashid and Naeem were asleep. They were safely extricated from the debris by locals. The duo sustained grievous injuries and recuperating at Bara Hindu Rao Hospital.
“Now they have to start their life from scratch. It will be really tough for them to pull it off as they have lost their family members and are homeless now,” said Mohammad Atiq, a relative of Rashid’s. Mohammad Sultan, a resident of the area, said, “We are in a state of shock and feeling utterly helpless.”
