Overview

  • The partial collapse occurred at around 7:01 a.m. on June 24 at Punjabi Chawl in Hanuman Nagar next to a nullah.
  • Three people—65-year-old Vanita Vishwas Sawant and two children aged five and nine—were treated at M.T. Agarwal Hospital and are in stable condition.
  • No fatalities were reported and the structural damage was confined to the single house wall.
  • Officials say the wall likely weakened because its proximity to a nearby drain was undermined by heavy rainfall.
  • Mumbai has experienced moderate to heavy monsoon showers since Monday and more rain is expected today, raising concerns over other vulnerable structures.
