Scenes of chaos prevailed for the whole night at the Sanjay Gandhi hospital where the bodies from the incident were shifted and the relatives of the missing persons kept arriving to locate their loved ones.

"I have been sitting here for the past 12 hours and have no clue where my wife is. We are getting no response from the officials," said a man at the hospital whose wife used to work in the same building which was gutted in the blaze.
