CHENNAI: “I felt proud when I heard that the timely information I gave saved the lives of many,” said S Dinakaran, a lathe worker who informed the 108 about the building collapse near Porur.
Dinakaran, who is still in a shock, said he was standing outside his house as it rained, exactly at 4.46 pm, when he heared a loud noise after which the building started to collapse. “I don’t know what made me call the 108 immediately, I phoned them up as I was watching the building crashing down,” said Dinakaran.
“The staff at 108 understood the seriousness of the accident and informed the rescue teams,” he added.
