“The structure was in a slum and the two floors on top seem to have been constructed recently. There was some sort of redevelopment...construction work was going on and some of the adjacent structures were pulled down by a developer recently. This could have affected the concerned building because all the structures were very closely connected,” said chief fire officer Hemant Parab.

Officials said most of the occupants of the building were labourers and 17 of the injured were discharged on Thursday morning after treatment. One of them is undergoing treatment at the hospital and is in stable condition.

Parab said the rescue operation was concluded around 6 am on Thursday.
