Mumbai’s Qureshi Nagar witnessed devastation after a massive hydraulic crane belonging to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) collapsed early Friday morning. The incident left at least 10 people injured, including a three-month-old child, as houses were turned into rubble and vehicles were damaged. The crane had been positioned to lift a poclain machine for demolition work at an under-construction 17-story building.
Aerial footage depicts the extensive damage, with the crane's arm extending across the area, striking nearby structures and blocking a road. Railway personnel are working to assess and repair the overhead equipment (OHE) that was damaged by the crane's arm. No impact on train movement is expected as this is a goods line. The Mumbai Tragedy claimed the lives of three-month-old child among 10 injured, all reported to be in stable condition.
The MMRDA has blamed the soft and muddy ground for the crane’s instability, deploying resources to secure the site and investigate the incident. Passenger train services remained unaffected by the collapse.
