In the early hours of Sunday, July 5, 2026, a tragic incident unfolded in Mumbai's Mankhurd area, where a section of a multi-storey chawl collapsed, resulting in the deaths of six individuals and injuring one. The collapse occurred amidst heavy rains, which exacerbated the situation and complicated rescue efforts. The incident took place at approximately 8:30 pm at Chawl No. 5 in Janta Nagar, located behind the Hanuman Mandir, according to local officials. The structure, described as a traditional row tenement known locally as a chawl, was found to have partially collapsed, trapping several residents beneath the rubble.
Initial reports suggested that up to five individuals were feared trapped at the scene, prompting immediate action from emergency services. Personnel from the Mumbai Fire Brigade, the police, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) ward office, and 108 ambulance services were swiftly deployed to the location. The search and rescue operations faced additional challenges due to ongoing heavy rainfall, which hindered visibility and made access to the site difficult. Local BJP corporator Navnath Ban expressed concerns about the difficulty of the rescue mission, noting that one more person was still believed to be trapped under the debris.
As the rescue operations progressed, the casualty count became clearer. Four women and one man were initially recovered and taken to the Shatabdi Hospital, while another man was pronounced dead at the Rajawadi Hospital. One injured male was admitted to Rajawadi Hospital for further treatment. The victims included a 32-year-old woman and four children ranging in age from two to 14 years, according to reports from Shatabdi Hospital. A seven-year-old boy succumbed to his injuries during treatment at Rajawadi Hospital, bringing the total number of fatalities to six.
The incident has sparked discussions regarding the safety and legality of chowls in Mumbai, particularly those that are unauthorized or poorly maintained. Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawade criticized the residents who continue to reside in such structures despite repeated warnings from municipal authorities. She emphasized that these buildings pose significant risks, especially during extreme weather conditions like the recent heavy downpours.
The heavy rainfall that preceded the collapse was part of a broader pattern of severe weather affecting the region. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a red alert for Mumbai, predicting extremely heavy rainfall. Over the past 24 hours, some areas recorded more than 200 mm of rain, with certain locations experiencing over 300 mm. This led to widespread disruption, including flight cancellations and diversions at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, road flooding, and numerous treefall incidents across the city. Notably, a 63-year-old man named Yunus Kundawala lost his life in Kurla when a tree fell on a shop, highlighting the dangers posed by the weather.
While the focus remains on the chawl collapse, the broader implications of the weather-related incidents underscore the urgent need for improved infrastructure and disaster preparedness in urban settings. As the city continues to grapple with the aftermath of the tragedy, officials are likely to review building codes and enforcement mechanisms to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The community and local authorities will also be monitoring the recovery process and supporting the families affected by this devastating event.

Reševalne operacije so potekale, medtem ko so nujne ekipe delale na reševanju žrtev.

Močni dež je tudi prekinil lete na mednarodnem letališču Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, kar je povzročilo odpovedi in preusmeritve.
