The pilgrims had taken the lift to go to the third floor, when the power supply went off abruptly. The alarm was raised, after which the people at the Haj house broke the lift. It took an hour to bring out the people trapped inside the elevator.

The pilgrims were then comforted and doctors were called there, who conducted their primary check-up and advised them to take rest properly, SHO Sharma said.
