19 Dead, 23 Hurt As 47-yr-Old 4-Storey Kurla Bldg Collapses

Mumbai: Nineteen residents were killed and 23 others injured 14 of them still in hospital-after a portion of a dilapidated ground-plus-three-storey building in Kurla East, Naik Nagar Housing Society's D Wing, crashed around 11pm Monday. The rest of the structure, located close to Nehru Nagar nullah, is shaky too.

Most of the dead and injured were labourers, watchmen and tailors. Police have arrested a civic contractor, Dilip Vishwas, who had lodged his labourers in the flats, booking him under IPC section 304 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

The society, which was constructed in 1975 on collector land and which housed over 40 people, was first served a notice for repairs in 2013. In 2016, BMC disconnected water and electricity to the society asking them to vacate, but the residents refused. They then got a structural auditor to submit a report that their structure was repairable.

BMC commissioner IS Chahal said. "We will have to recheck the structural auditors' report."
