A one-and-a-half-year-old infant died and a woman was injured after a part of a two-story residential building collapsed on Wednesday evening in Saraswati Gully, Ekata Mitra Mandal, Chembur. The injured woman, Kavita Salve, 35, is receiving treatment at the Outpatient Department of Rajawadi Hospital.

According to the BMC, the collapse occurred around 7:29 p.m. on September 4, 2024. The incident was caused by a loosened steel channel, which led to the failure of the ground-plus-one structure.

The tragic incident resulted in the death of Khushi Salve, a 1.5-year-old girl, who was brought to the hospital already deceased. Both the BMC and the police have initiated investigations into the incident. Further details are awaited.
