Crane Collapse in Mumbai's Kurla Injures Several During Eviction OperationPreviousNext

A large crane collapsed in Mumbai's Kurla early Friday during preparations for an eviction and demolition operation by MHADA, injuring between two and over ten people. The crane fell onto houses and the overhead electric lines of the Kurla-Trombay railway goods line, temporarily affecting train movement but not passenger services. Emergency teams responded promptly, and all injured were reported in stable condition. Authorities, including MMRDA and MHADA, have launched investigations into the cause of the collapse.
