The rescue operation at the Kannauj railway station following a building collapse concluded Sunday evening with rescuers pulling out 28 workers safely after a 16-hour-long operation, officials said. All the rescued workers have been admitted to a hospital for treatment. No fatalities have been reported.

The shuttering of the under-construction building on the station premises had collapsed Saturday afternoon, trapping the workers. The rescue teams, including personnel from the national and state disaster response force and the railways, worked through the cold night to clear the debris and safely pull out the trapped workers.
