Work has started on an emergency basis to remove the debris and rescue if anyone is still trapped inside. "On early Thursday morning, we heard the collapse of something. As we rushed to the spot, we saw the ceiling of the warehouse had collapsed. We immediately informed the police," said a resident to the media persons.
Eyewitnesses said that the rescue team brought out one of the four killed, who was still alive then but under critical condition. He was rushed to the Howrah District Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead. Three bodies were recovered from under the debris. The bodies of the deceased workers have been sent for post-mortem purposes. The local police have started an investigation into the incident. Sources said that probably, lack of maintenance of the warehouse could have resulted in the ceiling collapse and tragedy.

In that case, sources added, the cops might initiate an investigation against the warehouse owner, who was responsible for the proper maintenance of the space. Meanwhile, one of the workers at the warehouse has claimed that, fortunately, five other workers, who were sleeping in the same warehouse, went out just before the ceiling collapsed. "Otherwise, the death count would have been more," he said.
