Tichakpura (Gujarat):With the recovery of two more bodies from the rubble during a night-long search, the death toll in the residential school building collapse here has reached 11, an official said today (Jan 27,2007).


"Rescue workers removed two more bodies from the rubble during the night-long search operation. The operation is over as there does not seem to be anymore person trapped in the debris. Workers are sifting through the rubble," Surat District Collector Vatsala Vasudev told PTI.

At least 14 others, all tribal girls, were receiving treatment for various injuries at a hospital in neighbouring town of Vyara, the Collector said.

The roof and staircase of the four storeyed building, which houses the government-run Adarsh Nivasi Shala for tribal girls, had collapsed last evening.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
