A big piece of a hill fell on a family of seven early in the morning, around 7 a.m.

Rescuers from the fire department, civil defence, police, and city council helped the people already there, and an army team also helped them.

An investigation officer at the Shahporan police station named Indranil Bhattacharjee said that the bodies of the three people who died were sent to the Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital.
