In a devastating incident, a three-storey building in Dombivali, a suburb of Thane, collapsed on Friday, sending shockwaves through the community.

Upon receiving the distress call, fire brigade personnel, municipal administration teams, and police forces swiftly converged on the scene to initiate rescue operations. The situation remains tense as rescuers race against time to locate and extract any survivors buried beneath the rubble.
Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) Commissioner, who arrived at the scene to oversee the rescue efforts, shared grim details with the media. “Rescue work has been initiated,” he confirmed. “Based on the information we have received, a 70-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman are currently trapped under the debris.”
The incident unfolded rapidly, prompting immediate action from local authorities.

As rescue operations continue at the site, the community and authorities remain hopeful for the safe recovery of those trapped beneath the debris. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of heeding safety warnings and addressing structural concerns in aging buildings to prevent such tragic occurrences in the future.
