Thane Apartment Slab Collapse Injures 3, Triggers Full Evacuation and Sealing

Officials ordered a fresh structural audit to determine repair versus demolition.

Overview

  • A fifth-floor slab at Nutan Neelam Apartment in Wagle Estate collapsed around 3:07 am on Tuesday, crashing into the flat below and injuring three residents.
  • All occupants—about 80 to 95 people from the A and B wings—were rescued, the building was sealed, and temporary shelter was arranged at TMC School No. 38 in Shantinagar.
  • The injured were identified as Gajendra Prasad, 60, Prince Yadav, 25, and Pradeep Yadav, 23, with Pradeep transferred from a Thane civic hospital to Fortis Bhandup in critical condition.
  • Fire brigade, disaster management, PWD, police, and MSEDCL teams responded to the site, conducted searches, and disconnected electricity for safety.
  • The Ground+5 structure, roughly 30–35 years old with 26 tenements, had an earlier C2B rating indicating major repairs were needed, prompting a new structural assessment by civic engineers.
