One Dead, Several Feared Trapped After Four-Storey Building Collapses in Maharashtra's Bhiwandi

Rescuers are searching for 7 to 8 people after the Kohinoor Building gave way, and officials said the structure had been declared dangerous.

  • A four-storey residential building collapsed late Thursday night in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, killing at least one person and trapping seven to eight others beneath the debris, officials reported on Friday.
  • Municipal officials had previously classified the Kohinoor Building as 'Category C', declaring it dangerous and dilapidated, though some workers remained on the ground floor when the structure gave way.
  • Residents reported hearing "loud cracking sounds" around 9 p.m. Thursday, prompting immediate evacuation that saved many families before the 'B' wing collapsed, according to officials.
  • The National Disaster Response Force and Thane Disaster Response Force deployed to the scene with heavy machinery and specialized rescue teams to locate those still trapped beneath the rubble.
  • Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation Mayor Narayan Chaudhary advised residents in similar dilapidated structures to vacate immediately, as authorities investigate the collapse and broader building safety compliance across the region.
