It was a dark Tuesday for Mumbai. Depositors and account holders of a co-operative bank were reeling in shock after a bank had 'directions' put on it by the RBI. This meant their money is stuck in the bank and they will only be able to withdraw R1,000 in six months.
Even as this news broke in the morning, we learnt about a portion of a ground-plus-five storey residential building collapsing on Tuesday afternoon near Khar Gymkhana, killing a 10 year-old girl and injuring two others. Some columns in the parking section on the ground floor of this building were undergoing some repair work for the last few days, reports state.
