10 killed as part of 5-storey Bhiwandi building collapses during illegal repairs
Bhiwandi : Ten persons were killed and three injured after half a wing of a five-storey building tagged “very dangerous” collapsed amid illegal emergency repairs to a tilting pillar and rain late on Thursday in Bhiwandi. Locals suspected one more person was trapped under the rubble. The rescue operation was still underway.
Some of the residents had gone into the building—Kohinoor Apartments in Bhandari Compound—just minutes before tragedy struck. Many of the victims were residents, others labourers working at the site and at least one was a visitor. Around 12 of the 48 flats in all were affected and 200-odd residents displaced.
