The under construction building fell on two adjoining houses, leaving 15 people trapped under the rubble.
Rescue workers pulled out bodies of a woman and two children. They also rescued six persons.
The remaining six persons were trapped under the debris and were believed to be alive. Rescue workers from the municipality, police, fire services and other departments were trying to remove the debris and rescue the trapped persons.
