The wall facing a kitchen and bathroom of a ground-plus-one structure collapsed in the narrow lanes of Dharavi, trapping a 45-year-old woman on Saturday. The woman, identified as Priya Silvaraj, was promptly rescued and rushed to Sion Hospital for treatment.

According to Ramesh Shinde, Silvaraj’s neighbour, the incident took place around 7.30 am. “Priya was taking a bath, when the bathroom wall on the top floor collapsed,” said Shinde. On hearing her screams, Shinde rushed to the site. “She was very scared and vulnerable,” said Shinde’s wife Sangeeta.
