Mumbai witnessed a tragic incident on Friday morning when a large crane belonging to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) collapsed onto a nearby house in the Kurla area. The incident left over ten people injured, triggering a major rescue and relief operation in the densely populated Qureshi Nagar area. According to the MMRDA, demolition work was underway at Building No. 1 of Bhandari Metallurgy when the crane was brought to the site for positioning.
However, it appears the soft and muddy ground at the site affected the crane's stability, causing it to tilt and collapse onto the house. Despite the devastation, there was no impact on train movement, as the line between Kurla and Trombay primarily handles goods transportation. Emergency teams and local authorities swiftly responded to the scene, ensuring no one was trapped under the debris and providing necessary medical assistance to the injured.
