Bangladesh tragedy toll hits 352, rescuers find 29 more alive (2)

Xinhua)  08:55, April 28, 2013  

Rescuers carry a surviving garment worker out of the rubble at the collapsed Rana Plaza building in Savar on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, April 27, 2013. In the wake of violent protests over Wednesday's building collapse that has left 332 workers dead so far, two of the owners of five ready-made garment factories housed in the collapsed Bangladesh building were arrested early Saturday.

According to them, many pillars and ceilings have collapsed in such a way that any wrong move could cause a fresh tragedy. So they are making no hurry because they believed that many more can still be pulled out of the collapsed building alive.

"We'll go slow and steady because we want this to remain a rescue and not a recovery," a volunteer said.

Major General Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardi of the Bangladesh Army 's 9th Infantry Division told reporters Saturday evening that rescue operations would not be wrapped up shortly as the rescuers involved in the operation have not left yet the hope of finding more survivors in the debris of the building Rana Plaza in Savar on the outskirts of capital Dhaka.

Following the cracks which were detected just one day before the accident, the workers were evacuated and the garments authorities declared a leave for Tuesday.
