Less than three months after a seven-storey building at Lucky Compound in Mumbra toppled, killing 74 people and injuring over 100, the wee hours of Friday morning saw a fresh disaster striking the hub of illegal constructions which falls under the jurisdiction of Thane Municipal Corporation.

Around 2.30 am yesterday, a ground-plus-three-storey structure called Smruti, located a few metres from the Mumbra railway station, came crashing down, and in the process claimed 10 lives and wounded 14 more.
