Two men were injured as a major portion of a three-storey building collapsed during its demolition in Mahim, on Wednesday, officials said.
The incident was reported at 1.48 pm at the Johnson & Johnson building located on Senapati Bapat Marg near Mahim railway station, a civic official said.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials had earlier said the incident occurred at the three-storey Unnati Society.
Demolition work was being carried out at the Johnson & Johnson building by a private contractor using a backhoe loader machine when the first and second floors of the three-storey structure suddenly collapsed, leaving some of its portions hanging precariously, officials said.
Debris from the collapsed floors fell on the loader machine and a four-wheeler parked in the compound of the adjacent Amol Apartment.
Two people — identified as Shaharukh Khan and Mohammad Ayub, both aged 24 — sustained injuries in the incident and were rushed to a local hospital. Their condition is said to be stable, according to
the officials.
“The Area around the entire building was cordoned off as a precautionary measure following the incident,” the civic official added.
