Mumbai: The onset of the monsoon in Mumbai and its neighbouring region has brought much-needed relief from the scorching heat, but it has also created misery. A security wall of a building suddenly collapsed due to heavy rain late Sunday night in the Prabhu Ali area of Bhiwandi.
A video shared by IANS on X (formerly Twitter) shows visuals of the collapsed structure. The bricks from the security wall can be seen scattered all over the building site.
The visuals show that the building is still under construction.
Wall collapse damages utilities
A local resident, while speaking to reporters, said, “We were sleeping when we heard a loud sound at night. Around 12 o'clock, we came out to see what had happened. No one was hurt because it was nighttime. The entire wall has collapsed; you can see the damage.”
He further stated that the collapse was so severe that it damaged the sewage and water pipelines serving residents living near the building, which is currently under construction.
