In Irsalwadi, the aftermath of the tragedy continues to unfold as search and rescue operations persisted until 5.30 pm on Friday. Tragically, six more lifeless bodies were found amidst the debris.

Survivors, seeking refuge in temples, bravely share their harrowing stories of loss and resilience with mid-day.
Sarpanch Ritu Thombre provided an update, stating, “We are currently in the process of relocating the survivors to Panyachati Mandir Trust until suitable accommodations are arranged.” Initially, the survivors had been housed in Raigad Jilha School, Nanivali. However, due to inadequate facilities and frequent power cuts, they were swiftly transferred to Panchayati Mandir Trust via buses.
