There were no customers or staff inside Sai Collections when the ceiling fell
A major mishap was averted when a large portion of the ceiling of a garment shop in Saket Shopping Centre at Goregaon West crashed to the ground on Saturday afternoon, triggering panic. Fortunately, no one was injured as there were no customers at the shop, Sai Collection, and staff, too, was outside at the time.
The ground plus two-storey residential-cum-shopping structure, which is less than 300 metres away from the crowded railway station, has been declared unsafe by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Accordingly, water and power supply has been discontinued. But, a few shop owners and residents continue to occupy the premises. On Saturday, when the ceiling collapsed, nearby locals feared further damage to the building, and immediately called the fire brigade and civic authorities to inspect it. The shopping centre-cum-residential premises was built in the late 1960s.
