    Mumbai-rains: Wall collapses at Lloyd's Estate in Wadala; cars trapped

    A wall in Mumbai's upscale Lloyds Estate in Wadala gave way this morning after incessant rains, burying several cars under debris. No one was hurt. The wall had been weakened due to construction activity at the site, residents said. They had apparently complained several times but no action was taken. Meanwhile, three have died in rain-related incidents in Mumbai and Thane within 24 hours.

    Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam will visit the spot later

    Court-appointed "neutral engineer" had assured residents site is safe

    Photos showed cars hanging on the edge and some others buried under soil. Fire, police and BMC officials rushed to the spot. The entire C and D Wings of the Estate, home to reputed judges and businessmen, were evacuated. Construction was ongoing at the site under Dosti Realty, reports Firstpost. A resident said a court-appointed "neutral engineer" had assured them the site was safe.

    Rains have lashed Mumbai since Saturday

    Mumbai has been lashed by heavy rains since Saturday. Suburban Malad (west) witnessed the highest amount of rainfall yesterday, while coastal areas like Colaba and Worli received less rainfall. "Heavy to very heavy rain" is likely to continue today too, IMD said, but the intensity is expected to decrease later. Waterlogging has disrupted normal life: trains have been delayed and traffic has been slowed.

    At least three dead in rain-related incidents

    Yesterday, two people were killed and five injured when a tree fell on them near Metro Cinema, MG Road, in Mumbai. A 13-year-old boy was killed and his parents wounded when a wall collapsed on their house in Wadol village of Thane late at night yesterday. A 65-feet compound wall of a Thane housing complex also collapsed this morning, crushing at least three vehicles.
