When the fire brigade team reached the spot around 6.15 pm, they were faced with a big challenge. There was construction debris and deep pits on the ground below, due to which the team could not lay any safety cushion below. Ultimately the rescue team showed wisdom and used a 236 feet long ladder to reach the person.
