Cars Buried As Wall Of Upscale Mumbai Complex Collapses After Heavy Rain
Mumbai : A huge section of the compound wall of an upscale Mumbai complex collapsed this morning taking with it at least 15 vehicles after incessant rain struck several parts of the city. The dramatic visuals of Lloyds estate in Wadala’s Antop Hill show several cars stuck in debris.
The civic body and the fire officials have vacated an entire wing of the building which has houses of senior lawyers, judges and businessmen.
The residents have been evacuated and no casualty was reported in the incident, an official of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) disaster management cell said.
The ongoing construction work in the vicinity reportedly weakened the boundary wall of the parking area which gave away in the rain, claim residents.
"We had alerted the authorities but no action was taken. The wall collapsed this morning after heavy rain," said Anila Pillai, a consultant and resident of the complex.
