Mumbai: 45-year-old woman injured after house collapse in Dharavi

A 45-year-old woman was injured after a one-storey house collapsed in Mumbai’s Dharavi on Saturday, prompting authorities to vacate a few rooms in its vicinity, an official said.

The ground-plus-one structure on 90 Feet Road collapsed around 8.15 am, trapping a woman, the fire official said. Mumbai received heavy rains in the past few days. The woman, identified as Priya Selva Raj, was pulled from under the debris and taken to civic-run Sion hospital.

Three to four nearby rooms were vacated as a precautionary measure, he added. Dharavi is a sprawling slum pocket in central Mumbai.
