An 80-year-old woman died after part of a dilapidated, century-old MHADA building collapsed near Grant Road West on Saturday morning. The building was occupied at the time of the incident. Many residents had a narrow escape, running out in the nick of time. Thirteen residents were stranded on the fourth floor and had to be extracted by the Mumbai fire brigade. 

Portions of the balcony and slabs on the second and third floor of Rubinissa Manzil came crashing down at Sleater Road around 11 am, following incessant rain for two days. MHADA had declared the four-storeyed building a dilapidated structure and had issued a notice to residents to vacate it.
