As per the locals, the incident happened around 7:30 PM on Saturday.
A few two-wheelers got trapped due to the incident.
Rajesh Chavan, a resident said BMC constructed this pavement slab at least one and a half decades ago. After this, the BMC just removed paver blocks and installed new ones.
"Never BMC repaired the full slab. This area has a high footfall. There was a possibility of an accident as most pedestrians use this footpath," said Chavan.
"At least now BMC should repair properly," he added.
Mid-day tried reaching out to Ajay Patane, the assistant municipal commissioner of BMC's T ward for comment.
