A 24-year-old woman and her toddler daughter were killed and nine others injured early Wednesday (August 27, 2025) after a portion of an “illegal” four-storey building collapsed onto a chawl in Virar in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, officials said.
Nearly 18 hours after the rear portion of Ramabai Apartment collapsed at 12.05 am, debris is still being removed, with a preliminary assessment suggesting that six to seven individuals are feared trapped, a senior civic official said.
