The bodies of the deceased were kept in the mortuary at the Rohida hospital. The police searched through the debris to rule out the possibility of more labourers buried under it.
Rajasthan Minister of State for Panchayat Raj Ota Ram Dewasi, sitting Rajya Sabha MP Neeraj Dangi, and Rajasthan Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra have condoled the deaths.
Dotasra also demanded compensation for the families of the victim labourers.
