Two people relieving themselves lost their life after a 20-seat public toilet at Saisadan Society of Om Pimpaleshwar Colony, Bhandup West, came crashing down on Saturday morning. The deceased have been identified as Labuben Dhirubhai Jetwa, 42, a homemaker, and Laxman Babalal Dewasi, 45, an employee of a garment store. According to residents, the two were stuck in the debris for nearly five hours before being rescued.
