Surat: Six more bodies were found overnight, bringing the total number of deaths from the fall of a six-story building in Surat, Gujarat, to seven, according to police on Sunday.

The Pal neighbourhood residence collapsed on Saturday at approximately 2:45 p.m.

While a woman was rescued soon after the collapse, the body of a man was pulled out on Saturday night, an official earlier said.

Rescue teams later pulled out six more bodies from the debris, according to police.

Seven bodies have been recovered in the operation that continued through the night, Sachin GIDC police station inspector Jignesh Chaudhari said, PTI reported.

After the incident, the rescue operation was launched with the help of teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the local fire department.

A woman rescued soon after the building collapse was rushed to a hospital where she was undergoing treatment, Chaudhari said.

"While the operation to remove the rubble continues, we do not think there is anyone else trapped inside," he said.

The building was constructed in 2016-17, Surat Police Commissioner Anupam Singh Gehlot said on Saturday.

Around five flats were occupied, mostly by those who work in factories in the area, he said.
