MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: We begin this morning in earthquake- ravaged western India. For the latest on that, we turn to CNN's Satinder Bindra.</s>SATINDER BINDRA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, rescue operations here are proceeding around the clock. Thousands of rescue workers are working with the army. They're sifting through the rubble with everything they've got. They're using cranes, they're using their bare hands. But time may be running out for people who've been trapped inside the rubble now for some 36 hours. The family members of these people are also now fast losing hope. There's also a lot of anger, people criticizing the Indian government, saying that it failed to send heavy equipment like cranes and backhoes fast enough. In a place called Bhuj, where the earthquake was centered, lots of damage, some 90 percent of the buildings there have been completely flattened out. Even the local hospital has been flattened out. There are reports that some 450 school children may be trapped under the debris of what was once their school building. No word yet as to if relief agencies have managed to pull out any children. Here in Ahmedabad, where I am, some 50 buildings have collapsed, and there is a great mood of somberness in the city. Funeral pyres are now lighting up the sky, and several families have lost more than one or two members. Relief operations, as I said, are still continuing, and as night falls, many people say they will spend the night outdoors. They are still scared of aftershocks. Some light tremors were even felt today. Reporting live, Satinder Bindra, CNN, Ahmedabad.
