NEW DELHI: As many as forty people were trapped as a four-story building collapsed in the Indian city of Mumbai, fire officials said.
There are no reports of casualties even though the cause of the collapse in the Dongri area in southern Mumbai is yet to be ascertained.
According to reports, the building was up to 100 years old. Recent monsoon flooding may also have been a factor, reports say.
Rescue teams from the fire department and the national disaster response force are looking for those trapped by debris, BBC Marathi quoted officials as saying.
