Partial Collapse of Palghar Apartment Building Prompts Evacuation of Residents
A portion of a four-storey building called Roshni Apartments in Nalasopara, Palghar, partially collapsed on Friday afternoon.

The remaining structure has been sealed, and authorities will inspect the site to decide on demolition or stabilization.
