Building collapses in Mumbai due to heavy downpour
An empty four-storey building collapsed following a heavy rainfall in Mumbai. The building Gopal Bhavan, is situated in Mamlatdar Wadi in suburban Malad.
Luckily, there were none living in the apartment as the residents had already been evacuated following the declaration of the structure as ‘dangerous‘ by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
Sources say that five fire engines rushed to the spot. But however, there were no deaths or losses in this incident.
Heavy rains throughout the night have led to water-logging and local trains have been delayed in many parts of Mumbai. The affected areas are Kalina, Vakola, Sion, Parel and huts along the Mithi River.
