Building collapses at Mumbai

In a terrible incident, a five-storey building collapsed near JJ Junction in Pakmodia street of south Mumbai’s Bhendi Bazar this morning. Five people have died while 13 others are severely injured in the collapse.
The incident reportedly took place at 08:45 am today. Rescue and search operations are currently underway.
"It was over a century old and dilapidated like many of the buildings in the locality. But it is not clear whether it is included on the list of dangerous buildings," Shah told mediapersons from the crash site.
According to the Fire Brigade, the building had two wings which have completely collapsed. "30-35 persons are feared trapped," they said. The cause of the crash is not known yet.
Ten fire engines, two JCBs, cranes and other machineries were deployed to clear the massive heap of rubble and extricate the victims underneath.
This is the first major building collapse after Tuesday's deluge in the city, and the second in five days after the Chandivali Crystal Business Park crash on August 26, that claimed six lives.
