Tampa Star (IANS) Wednesday 8th February, 2012

A man was Wednesday pulled out alive from the rubble of a three-storied building that had collapsed in Lahore two days ago.

Ghulam Abbas was found alive in the collapsed drug company building after 47 hours while several people are still believed to be trapped under the debris, Geo News reported Wednesday.

Abbas said there could be some children still trapped under the rubble as he had heard their voices.

On Wednesday, one more body was recovered, pushing the toll to 21.

The three-storied building collapsed due to boiler explosion Monday morning. Three other houses adjoining the building also fell.
