Andhra Pradesh - Visakhapatnam

Vizag blast toll up

VISAKHAPATNAM: All the eight occupants of the building that collapsed following a firecracker blast on Thursday evening died. All the bodies, except one, were retrieved on Friday. Relief operations were hampered due to inaccessibility to the building. The intensity of the blast could be judged from the fact that few bodies were hurled into the drain 20 feet away.
