Hotel collapse toll rises to 10

AHMEDABAD: The death toll in Sunday’s hotel building collapse in Ahmedabad went up to 10 on Monday with three more bodies extricated from the debris.

The rescue team, however, also had a pleasant surprise as three more people came out alive from under the debris more than 24 hours after the collapse of the three-storeyed building housing Hotel Shakunt.

Even as the excavation of the debris was continuing on Monday, three more bodies were recovered by the rescue team.
