Authorities probe structural weakness amid recent heavy rain

The collapsed wooden hoarding
A wooden hoarding at Sahajanand Chowk in Kalyan collapsed on Friday morning at 10.18 am, causing minor damage to three vehicles. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. Eyewitnesses said that the incident occurred suddenly, with the hoarding crashing down onto the parked cars, creating a loud noise and momentary chaos in the vicinity. The affected cars sustained minor damage, with dented bodies and scratches being the most visible signs of the impact.
Local authorities quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation. Traffic was briefly diverted to allow for the clearance of debris and to prevent any further accidents. One of the car owners said, “It’s a miracle that no one was around or inside the parked vehicles when it happened. The damage to the cars needs to be fixed, but at least no lives were lost,” he said, recollecting the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse incident.
