A dramatic rescue operation unfolded this morning at Shantivan Society, house E34, where demolition work of an old structure using a Hitachi breaking machine took a perilous turn. Around 10.53 am, a 22-year-old man, Jalabhai, a resident of Madhya Pradesh, became trapped under the debris due to unknown reasons during the demolition process.  

The Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Service Rescue team promptly arrived at the scene with specialized rescue equipment and conducted an extensive operation. Using tools such as cutters, basket stretchers, rescue ropes, and a halligan tool, the team successfully extricated the man. Jalabhai, who was found alive, was immediately transported to Civil Hospital via a 108 ambulance.  

Sagarbhai, an engineer at a private firm, was present at the site and confirmed that no other individuals were trapped under the debris.  

The rescue operation saw the deployment of 14 fire and rescue vehicles along with three ambulances. The swift response and coordinated efforts of the fire and rescue personnel ensured that a potential tragedy was averted.  

Further investigation is underway to determine the cause of the incident.
