The lift got stuck around 10am. Hearing their screams for help, other residents rushed to the lift and informed the regional disaster management cell (RDMC).

Santosh Kadam, RDMC, Thane, said, “The pulley got jammed. The lift was not maintained properly. It should have been checked periodically to avoid such a problem”.
