Belapur Building Collapse: 2 Feared Trapped, 2 Rescued As 50 Escape

In the early hours of Saturday, a multi-storey building collapsed in Belapur, Navi Mumbai. Officials reported that 2 people remained feared trapped under the debris, while rescuers saved 2 others and evacuated 50 safely.

The collapse of the Indira Nivas building in Shahbazgaon occurred around 4:30 AM as residents were asleep.

Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reported that rescue teams are working to extract the two individuals trapped beneath the rubble.

Meanwhile, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) relocated the survivors to a shelter.

Residents described being jolted awake by tremors, rumbling noises, and rattling items shortly before the building collapsed.

Many fled their homes in a panic, leaving their possessions behind as the building collapsed.

Emergency response teams from the NRI Sagari Police Station, Navi Mumbai Fire Brigade, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) swiftly arrived at the scene.

Rescuers pulled both trapped individuals from the debris after nearly four hours of intense operations and transported them to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Deputy Chief Minister Fadnavis has instructed the NMMC Commissioner and the Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner to implement strict measures against those responsible for the incident.

The investigation into the causes of the collapse is ongoing as authorities seek to hold accountable those involved in this tragic event.
