Crane Collapse in Mumbai's Kurla Injures Several, Disrupts Goods Train Movement
In Mumbai's Kurla area early Friday, a large crane collapsed during preparations for demolition work at a construction site, injuring eight to ten people, including a three-month-old infant. The crane toppled onto nearby houses, vehicles, and railway overhead electric wires, disrupting goods train movement on the Kurla-Trombay line. Rescue operations were promptly conducted, and all injured were reported stable in local hospitals. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) attributed the collapse to soft ground affecting crane stability and has launched an investigation.
