Residents of the City and Industrial Development Corporation’s (Cidco) housing society in Nerul’s Sector 24 are now scared to stay in their own homes. They claim that though the building is not more than 15 years old, it has already developed cracks. Also, there have been two instances of slab collapses within a week.

Sadguru society in Nerul

A portion of a slab came crashing down in one of the flats of Sadguru society. The incident took place at around 1.30 am on Saturday, but fortunately nobody was injured in the incident. Kavita Kanse (32), the flat’s owner, said, “After the incident I found it extremely difficult to sleep at night, fearing that another such accident might take place. Thankfully, no one was near the kitchen where the portion of the slab collapsed.” Another resident claimed that a few days ago a portion of the slab had collapsed in the building’s passage. No one was injured in the incident.
