In what appears to be a repeat of Borivli's Laxmi Chhaya building collapse, a tragedy struck Ghatkopar's Siddhi Sai Apartment on Tuesday morning, killing 12 and injuring 12, which includes two firemen. In 2007, 29 people were killed and 18 injured in the Borivli building crash, which happened due to structural alterations carried out in a jewellery shop on the ground floor.
