Two Injured and Vehicles Damaged After Tree Falls Near Churchgate Metro StationPreviousNext

A large tree fell near Churchgate's B-2 Metro Station in Mumbai, injuring two people and damaging four vehicles and a nearby stall. The incident occurred around 12:36 pm, prompting emergency response teams to clear debris and assist the injured, who are in stable condition. Officials noted excavation work near the tree on private property adjacent to an under-construction building. The event disrupted traffic and raised safety concerns, leading the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to order a city-wide audit of roadside trees following recent similar incidents.
