Mumbai, August 15, 2026: A partially collapsed old building in Walkeshwar's Walkeshwar Road area led to the unfortunate incident of three individuals being trapped under the debris. Courageous rescue teams swiftly arrived at the scene, successfully rescuing the three victims who were found unharmed. The collapse happened at approximately 9:45 am in the Tin Batti locality, adjacent to Anurag Building and Jabareshwar Gully.
The affected structure, a ground-plus-two-story building, partially collapsed onto the adjoining Ganga Ashram chawl. Emergency services comprising the Mumbai Fire Brigade, police, ambulance services, and the relevant civic ward were promptly deployed to the site. The rescue operation took around half an hour, during which the trapped occupants were safely extracted.
Three individuals, aged 65, 45, and 55 years, were among those rescued unharmed. The exact reason behind the collapse has yet to be determined. The building was recognized as a cessed building, prompting the Bombay Municipal Corporation to notify the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) for subsequent action.
