Speaking to the media, Commissioner of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation Rajesh Narvekar said, “The slab of the 3rd floor of Tulsi Bhavan building collapsed around 9 pm. 2 people have died, and two have been hospitalised. The building has been evacuated. Structural audit of the building will be done tomorrow (August 24).”

Similar incident in Mumbai

A similar incident happened on August 21, when a residential building in Mumbai’s Kurla area collapsed, leading to the death of a young woman.

The collapsed structure, identified as the Subhash Nagar’s Sumera Bhai Building, was a three-storeyed construction.

The mishap led to the collapse of the compound wall, which subsequently fell onto an adjacent chawl, causing substantial damage. The incident site is situated near Shiv Mandir, behind Bharat Talkies, in Kurla (West).
