At least seven persons were killed and one person was injured after slabs of a ground-plus-five-storey building collapsed at Ulhasnagar in Thane district on Friday night, a civic official said.
This is the second such incident in the area this month.
The slab of the fifth floor of the Sai Siddhi building in Nehru Chowk area collapsed, causing the slabs below to crash too, said Santosh Kadam, chief of the Regional Disaster Management Cell.
The injured person has been admitted to Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar and the rescue operation has been completed.
On May 15, a similar slab collapse at an illegal building in the Ulhasnagar township had claimed five lives.
