Just a day of heavy rainfall has brought Mumbai back to its knees with massive waterlogging across the city, with two deaths in house collapse incidents and injuries from tree falls. A house collapse in Santacruz led to the death of two people, who had fallen into the nullah next to their residence. They were rushed to the nearest hospital but were later declared dead.
According to civic officials, the incident happened in a chawl, located next to a nullah, around 11 am on Tuesday. When the retaining wall collapsed, four people fell into the nullah. The locals managed to rescue three-year-old Shivanya Kakade. After the fire officials and NDRF reached the spot, they rescued one-and-a-half-year-old Jahnvi Kakade and 26-year-old Rekha Kakade and rushed them to the V N Desai hospital, but they were declared dead. Search is on for the fourth person.
