A part of the roof and some pillars of the St Xavier's ground in Parel collapsed in the early hours of Thursday morning.

There were no casualties reported as the Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) ground, which hosts club and inter-school football matches besides being used by morning walkers, has been shut due to the Coronavirus-forced lockdown.

"Some parts of the stand collapsed around 5:15 this morning. Some workers, who stay around, informed us and the BMC [Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation] about it.
