One of the labourers, who escaped from the collapsed building, told reporters he escaped because he went to wash his hand.
“I was loading a bag of stones and the owner of the house was here with me, telling me to park it very well. He has finished paying us.
“Only one person, who is dumb was trapped inside and he is still there. One other who was rescued has been rushed to hospital.
“The building didn’t give any sign that it is about to collapse. I was lucky because my tools were inside. I just said let me wash my hands here before I will go inside the building to collect my tools,” he stated.
Rescue workers were still trying to rescue the trapped labourer.
