At least eight contractual labourers were clearing a clogged drain Monday late evening when the wall of the three-storeyed building collapsed. The drain was adjacent to the wall at Behala.

“Every one was rescued from the debris within two hours and taken to a local hospital,” police official told reporters.

Laksman Munda, 38, and Khokon Ali, 27, died at the hospital.

Two local promoters, in charge of the under-construction building, are absconding, sources said.
