Initial efforts to pump out the water were hindered by continuous rainwater flow. However, once the road water receded, they managed to reduce the water level from 12 feet to eight feet and retrieved the bodies of the students.

Approximately 30 students were present in the coaching centre at the time. Of these, 12 to 14 were rescued and taken to a hospital, while others managed to escape on their own.
