Rescue operations are still underway,y but she has not been located yet.
A sandal was found in the debris, indicating that she may be buried under the rubble.

The government had previously issued warnings to houses in the area due to their precarious location on the hillside, but residents reportedly ignored the authorities’ advice.

Police officials stated that ”investigations are ongoing with support from the NDRF and SDRF, but it remains uncertain whether Rina Deka was actually at the site during the disaster, or if reports of her presence are a misunderstanding."
