The woman was inside the toilet when the incident happened
A 55-year-old woman died after the wall of a public toilet collapsed on her in Kurla. The woman was using the toilet, which had been partially demolished. Locals used to use the toilet despite being told not to do so, as demolition work had begun. According to reports, the woman died after the wall separating the men and women's sections, caved in and its portions fell on her.
It is vital that workers put a barricade or a rope around infra that is undergoing repairs or demolition. If that is not possible logistically, putting up bold signage plus some neon-coloured, clearly visible instructions about not using the space would be a good idea.
