According to officials, the rear portion of the four-storey Ramabai Apartment on Narangi Road in Vasai gave way around 12:05 am, crashing onto a nearby chawl.

“So far, rescuers have pulled out 11 individuals from the debris, some with serious injuries. Two of them have been declared dead,” said an official from the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVMC).

The fire brigade, along with two National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team,s were immediately dispatched to the site, officials confirmed.

Sharing initial details, Vivekanand Kadam, District Disaster Management Officer of Palghar, said the rear section of Ramabai Apartment collapsed onto an adjacent chawl, trapping several residents beneath the rubble.

“Unfortunately, we have lost Aarohi Omkar Jovil, aged 24, and Utkarsha Jovil, aged 1. Both were found unresponsive under the rubble and declared dead upon arrival at hospital,” Kadam said.

The injured were shifted to hospitals in Virar and Nalasopara for treatment.

“Our priority is to ensure that no one remains trapped under the debris. We are continuing search operations using advanced equipment and trained rescue personnel,” Kadam added.

Authorities have cordoned off the area with temporary barricades to control crowds and allow smooth rescue efforts. Structural experts are also examining the remaining portions of the building for potential risks.

“We are also working with municipal authorities to assess the structural stability of nearby buildings and the cause of the collapse. Residents from adjoining structures have been temporarily evacuated as a precaution,” Kadam said.
