TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ The four-storey Kesarbai building at Tandel street in the congested locality of Dongri in south Mumbai, collapses. At least 40-50 people are believed to be trapped under the debris.
Several fire engines are at the spot along with rescue teams. People are being pulled out from under the debris with local residents helping in the search and rescue.
The approach road to the building is extremely narrow and may hamper rescue operations. Details awaited. Earlier, at least 15 people, mostly labourers hailing from West Bengal and Bihar, were killed when a boundary wall of a posh building collapsed in Pune.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered the Pune Collector to conduct a detailed probe into the incident. “Extremely saddened to know about loss of lives in the Pune wall collapse incident,” said Fadnavis, announcing a compensation of Rs 500,000 to the kin of each deceased and Rs 25,000 for each injured in the tragedy.
