The news that 40 people had been found alive was greeted with jubilation at the scene, the BBC's Anbarasan Ethirajan reports.

One rescue official told the BBC that the group was found after they were heard screaming in the rubble.

The military said at least 12 of the group had since been pulled free.

Search teams have been dropping water bottles and food items to other survivors who are still trapped.
