Atleast 10 Dead In Maha Building Collapse, Dozens Feared Trapped

Sep 21, 2020 | Pratirodh Bureau

NDRF officials and firemen remove debris as they look for survivors after a three-storey residential building collapsed in Bhiwandi, on the outskirts of Mumbai on September 21, 2020

At least 10 people were killed on Monday and dozens were feared trapped when a portion of a three-storey residential building collapsed on the outskirts of Mumbai, Maharashtra, officials said.

Some residents were trying to get out of the building, in the industrial town of Bhiwandi, 40 km northeast of Mumbai, after cracks appeared in it in the middle of the night, when it crashed down.

“Half of the building collapsed and nearly 25 to 26 families are feared trapped,” Pankaj Ashiya, the municipal commissioner of Bhiwandi, told reporters.

It was not clear why the building, which had 54 apartments on three floors, collapsed.

At least 11 injured people were rescued.

Teams of police, city workers and members of the National Disaster Response Force removed debris in the cramped lanes of the neighbourhood, trying to reach people calling out for help under the rubble, a witness said.

“We heard a noise and I noticed that there were cracks on the floor,” said resident Sharif Ansari, 35. “I woke up my neighbours and my wife and we rushed everyone down,” he added.

Ansari said he went back up to alert more people and was on the first floor with some other residents when the building it came down.

“We jumped from there and managed to escape but there are at least another 60 people trapped,” he said.

Torrential rain is often blamed for building collapses in India, with the number of incidents, often involving old or illegally-built buildings, rising during the June-September monsoon.

Last month, more than a dozen people were killed when a building collapsed in the industrial town of Mahad, 165 km (100 miles) south of Mumbai.
