Four persons working in a fruit godown who were trapped inside, were rescued by the Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services early morning on Tuesday. The warehouse is located near Paruthipattu, Avadi.

An official of the Fire and rescue Services said the four workers had been trapped inside the godown after huge racks stacked with fruit packets crashed on Monday night. Based on an emergency call, rescue personnel from Avadi rushed to the warehouse. All the four persons were rescued.

However, fire and rescue personnel continued to search the entire warehouse to ensure that no one else is trapped, or left behind.
