"The man was engaged in foundation work at the site when loose soil caved in. Teams from the Mumbai Fire Brigade, BMC ward, police and 108 ambulance staff are at the site. The operation to rescue him is underway," an official from BMS told the news agency IANS.
The incident occurred because heavy rainfall led to loose soil, which became more unstable and suddenly collapsed at the construction site, trapping a worker under the debris. More details awaited.
