Speaking with mid-day, Swananad said, “I was sleeping when we heard a loud noise. We thought people were bursting crackers to welcome Ganpati, but suddenly a slab fell on our roof, and it collapsed on us. I was trapped under the debris until my brother rescued me and my mother.”
“I suffered injuries to my head and back after the slab collapsed. Luckily, we survived,” he added.
