Earlier on July 20, parts of the balcony of a building named Rubina Manzil collapsed in the Grand Road area of Mumbai, in which one person died and 13 others were injured.
The incident took place at 11 am on July 20, close to the Grant Road Railway Station.
The continuous rainfall in Maharashtra has brought Mumbai to a standstill, disrupting public transport services and causing inconvenience to countless commuters.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday issued orange alert for Madhya Maharashtra on July 28.
Several regions in Maharashtra are currently facing continuous heavy rainfall, leading to severe waterlogging and extensive traffic snarls in many cities, including Mumbai.
