MUMBAI: As many as 11 people were killed when another building outside Mumbai collapsed in a week, a rescue official said.
Rescuers were searching through the rubble for any survivors after the three-storey building collapsed overnight while families were sleeping inside.
National Disaster Response Force official Alok Avasthy said It was a 50-year-old structure that was in a dilapidated state and had been declared unsafe by the government two years back but people still lived there.
It comes just a week after nine people were killed when another old three-storey building collapsed under heavy monsoon rains in the Mumbai suburb of Thakurli.
