Among those buried were Charan Singh, who operates a cart, his nine-year-old daughter Aarti alias Lalo, along with Ramveer and his eight-year-old daughter Tamanna.Witnesses who heard the wall collapse rushed to the scene, fearing further damage. They began removing debris despite concerns of additional collapses. After approximately 20 minutes of intense effort, the injured were extracted and transported to SN Medical College.

Her father and two others remain hospitalized but are reported to be in stable condition.#BreakingNews‌ : यूपी के आगरा में दीवार गिरने से बड़ा हादसा #UttarPardesh #Agra #IndiaDaily @Imsonikasingh pic.twitter.com/7LxBbcz0BB— India Daily Live (@IndiaDLive) September 2, 2024Official Response and Current StatusAccording to the sources, the District Magistrate Bhanu Chandra Goswami quickly arrived at the scene, coordinating the emergency response and ensuring that ambulances were dispatched to the medical facility.
