Deputy Inspector General of Police Shalabh Mathur added that the rescue operation, which had lasted all night, is nearing completion. 'The incident occurred at about 11:30 a.m. 'We're doing everything we can to get the trapped people out as soon as possible,' he said yesterday. Personnel from the National Disaster Response Force and the State Disaster Response Force, as well as 21 ambulance crews, were part of the team. Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, visited the injured at the hospital and announced a slew of aid for those affected by the tragedy. The next of kin will receive approximately Rs 2 lakh, or approximately £2,000. Those critically injured will receive Rs 50,000 (nearly £500) in compensation as well as free medical treatment, according to the minister's spokesperson. Government officials and police officers will now form a committee to investigate what caused the roof to collapse.
'Meeting the people injured in the cold store accident at Chandausi in district Sambhal today, inquired about their well-being and treatment from doctors,' Adityanath tweeted. 'Everyone is given top priority. My prayer is that Lord Shri Ram will grant everyone a speedy recovery.' According to Mathur, a case has been filed against the building's owners. 'Under Section 304, a (first information report) was filed at Chandausi police station against the building's owners, Ankur Agarwal and Rohit Agarwal,' he said. 'An investigation into any lapses in the administrative process has been ordered.' 'According to the information we have received, the building was new, and items were stored without the necessary permissions and clearances,' he added. 'The cold storage was filled beyond capacity, and it collapsed.'
