A portion of the boundary wall of a dilapidated bungalow collapsed onto a busy road in Maharashtra's Thane city on Friday morning, prompting civic authorities to clear the debris and assess the structure. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Officials said the bungalow had already been classified as a highly dangerous structure and was marked for demolition due to its poor condition.
The incident took place around 9.30 am in the Naupada area when a section of the bungalow's boundary wall gave way and fell onto the adjoining road.
No pedestrians or motorists were injured despite the road being busy at the time of the collapse.
Following the incident, officials from the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) and other departments rushed to the spot to secure the area and remove the debris.
"Personnel from the disaster management cell, along with a pickup vehicle and a JCB machine, rushed to the site to clear the debris. They were joined by a junior engineer from the Public Works Department and staff from the anti-encroachment department," said Yasin Tadvi, Chief of the Regional Disaster Management Cell (RDMC) of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC).
According to civic officials, the bungalow had previously been identified as structurally unsafe and categorised as a dangerous building.
