The worst fears about the tragedy at Malin village, about 110 km from Pune city, appeared to come true on Thursday as the Pune district administration ruled out the possibility of finding any survivors among the over 150 men, women and children believed trapped in the mud-and-rock debris.

Eight people were found alive a few hours after rescue work began at the site of the landslide in the lap of the Sahayadris in the Ambegaon taluka of Pune district on Wednesday. Thursday’s daylong rescue effort, however, failed to find any more survivors in the gigantic mound of mud that has all but swallowed the entire village.

 

“More that 24 hours have passed since the tragedy, and I don’t think we can find any survivor in the slush now,” Pune district collector Saurabh Rao, who was supervising relief and rescue operations, said
