The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Friday brought out the bodies of all four workers buried in the debris after a well cave-in on August 1 in Pune in Maharashtra, an official told news agency PTI.

The incident occurred at Mhasobachi Wadi village in Indapur tehsil, reported PTI.

The bodies were retrieved in the afternoon from under a mass of soil and concrete, he said.

"The NDRF operation had entered its fourth day. All four bodies have been brought out," Bhigwan police station assistant inspector Dilip Pawar told PTI.

The well is 100 feet deep with a diameter of 120 feet, officials said, adding that the site was earlier used for quarrying.

During the construction of the well, the inner concrete wall sank, and those working at the edge of the concrete wall got trapped under the debris, officials told PTI.

The process of registering a case in the incident was underway, police said.

Meanwhile, at least 12 passengers were injured after a private bus rammed into a street pole on Ghodbunder Road in Thane city on Friday evening, a civic official told PTI.

Chief of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC)'s disaster management cell Yasin Tadvi told PTI that the bus carrying a total of 28 passengers was on its way from Ghodbunder to Thane when the accident took place due to brake failure.

The injured were admitted to the civil hospital in the city.

The accident briefly affected the traffic on the busy road.
