Fortunately, the Gitanjali building in Saibaba Nagar of Borivali West had been vacated after BMC declared it as a dilapidated structure.
This is not the first instance of building collapse in Mumbai. Earlier this month, part of a five-storeyed building in Dahisar area of Thane collapsed.
In another incident in June, a G+2 shanty collapsed at Bandra West, resulting in the death of a 40-year-old man and leaving 19 others injured.
