Atleast 10 persons were injured and one was reported dead after a boundary wall collapsed in Mulund on Friday night at 1.33 am. The incident happened in Shastri Nagar.
According to media reports, the incident occurred due to heavy rains which the city has been witnessing over the past few days.
Prashant Sapkale, assistant municipal commissioner of T ward, said to The Indian Express, "There was extreme heavy rainfall from 11 pm and 1 am during night. Since it is a hilly area, the protection wall could not take the load of it. It then collapsed on shanties and patra type structures around it. Around 17 people have been injured in this incident."
Of the 17 people injured and who were rushed to the nearby Hospital, one person identified as Prashant Jadhav was declared dead.
