West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee: At the flyover collapse site that construction of that flyover began in 2008, “during CPM time not our time”. Our main focus is to rescue those who are trapped

MoS Home Kiren Rijiju: Our team is in contact with West Bengal. NDRF teams have been dispatched. We will send more NDRF teams and para-military forces if necessary. The state government is already doing whatever is necessary, central forces are there to support, help and take part in rescue and relief operations.

Rahul Gandhi: News of the collapse of a flyover in Kolkata extremely tragic. I hope rescue &relief ops reach those trapped and injured at the earliest

Md Salim (CPI-M): My party demands that a high-level probe be ordered and alleged that the rescue work was not going on properly. We also demand that the National Disaster Response Force be brought in for the rescue operation.

Adhir Chowdhury (State Congress president): We demand a probe into the entire construction process. Immediate probe should be ordered. This is a clear case of corruption. The collapse proves the poor state of governance in the state
