“I slept at 9.30pm on Wednesday after coming from work. Even before this, we have complained to CIDCO and an inspection was done but no repairs were carried out. Even after this incident, they came and had a look on Thursday. They asked us to move out so that they could get the repair work done. But, where will we go? Almost 40% of the slab collapsed along with the false ceiling on me. Fortunately, it fell on the right side of my face, injuring only the ear. I have got seven stitches on the ear and bled profusely,” Pawar said.

CIDCO issued a statement saying the examination of the building was in process.
