Mysuru: "Woh theek hai na?.. (My husband is fine, right?)" questioned distraught Aisha repeatedly as the family and relatives of worker Saddam stuck under the debris of Maharani's college building in Mysuru which collapsed on Tuesday evening waited near the gate of the college with hopes to receive him alive.
His daughter, 7-year-old Saadiya and 2-year-old Anaaya also patiently waited with their Ammi (Mother) for their Abba (Father).
Neither the dust which enveloped the surrounding area upto a distance of 500 meters, nor the cold weather deterred scores of Saddam's relatives including his two brothers and three sisters from awaiting his safe rescue.
Atleast ten members of the Humanitarian Relief Society joined the personnel involved in the relentless rescue operation. They even provided food and biscuits to the people who were waiting there.
