The Fareya family survived the earthquake of Kutch in 2001 and shifted to Mumbai, but on Thursday, lost two members in the building collapse in Fort. Sixty five-year-old Manishaben Fareya and her son, Kalpesh, 22, died when a part of the 100-year-old Bhanushali building collapsed. Until now, 10 deaths have been reported by the authorities in the crash, while several people have been injured and some are missing.

Nanji Fareya, Manishaben's husband, has a shop on the opposite side of the road. He and their elder son Ratanshi survived the incident. "Nanji had just returned to the shop after tea at home when the incident occurred," said Jayantilal Gada, a relative.
