Thane: An alert teenager saved 75 people in Dombivili, Thane, two days ago.
Eighteen-year-old Kunal Mohite was watching a web series on his mobile phone around 4 am when he noticed a part of their kitchen crumbling, reported ANI.
He quickly woke up his parents and alerted other residents of the two-storeyed building which housed 75 people.
They rushed out and vacated the building in the nick of time before it collapsed completely.
According to official sources, the building was declared dangerous by civic authorities nine months ago and the residents were asked to vacate it. But with most of the residents being financially weak and also the COVID-19 pandemic setting in, they didn’t move out.
They would have paid dearly for their utter callousness, had it not been for Kunal’s mobile phone addiction.
