Two days after a multi-story building fell in Lucknow, two women died, and rescue efforts are still ongoing. The son of a spokesperson for the Samajwadi Party is one of the 14 survivors. At the SPM Civil Hospital, the kid is receiving medical care. He is not in danger, according to the medics.

Mustafa (6) said that he learned how to hide under the bed while the five-story Alaya Apartments shook after watching a popular cartoon. Mustafa claimed that as soon as he felt the building start to tremble during an earthquake, he immediately remembered the dos and don'ts. The youngster claimed that he believed it to be an earthquake.

"I was terrified but I recalled an episode of the cartoon show ‘Doraemon’ in which Nobita (the central character of the series) was taught about protecting himself during an earthquake by taking shelter in corners or under the bed. Without wasting a second, I took shelter under the bed," Mustafa said.

Mustafa said he felt suffocated and that the building suddenly collapsed and went entirely dark. He doesn't remember what happened after that, although he did see some people removing him.
