In a tragic incident, a three-storied building collapsed in Bhiwandi, a city located in the Thane district of Maharashtra, India. The incident occurred on the morning of April 30, 2023, and is reported to have claimed several lives.
According to eyewitnesses, the building, which was old and dilapidated, collapsed suddenly, trapping many people inside. Local residents immediately rushed to the scene to help with the rescue efforts.
The rescue operation was carried out by the local authorities, along with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the fire department. They worked tirelessly to rescue the people who were trapped under the debris.
So far, it is reported that at least 10 people have been rescued and have been rushed to the nearby hospitals for treatment. However, several people are still believed to be trapped under the debris, and the rescue operation is still ongoing.
The cause of the building collapse is not yet known, but it is suspected that it could be due to the old and weakened structure of the building. An investigation will be carried out to determine the exact cause of the incident.
The incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of the buildings in the city and the need for regular inspections to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future.
