Building collapsed at Palm Beach Road, Navi Mumbai

Posted by: Sagar | Category: Housing, India growth story, Infrastructure, Mumbai, News

 


At around 5:30am on June 30, an unoccupied building still under construction at Palm Beach Road in the New Mumbai district of Mumbai city Shanghai and not Sanpada (Please read UPDATE published below) toppled over. One worker was killed. According to information, a 70 meter section of the flood prevention wall in nearby Creek Stream which connects with Arabian Sea collapsed that may have something to do with this building collapse.

God bless all who have and are suffering in this accident…

Please note that I have received this information through a mail, so I am not responsible if this information is incorrect. If you have latest update on this, please post it here and I would certainly publish it. Let’s spread only the right information.

UPDATE: I have received many comments from alert readers who have pointed out that this information is partly correct. This accident had really took place, but in Shanghai (check this BBC link) and NOT in Sanpada as reported by me. I apologize for the wrong information I had published. I am against spreading any rumours so I am taking all precautions to avoid such things to happen, and also upading my post. Thanks again to my alert readers.

    Hi,
    Before publishing such news, verify with somebody or atleast check in the website to confirm the truth. Sometimes wrong information gives very bad results.

    Mumbai couldn’t become the Shanghai of India, Sanpada seems to have made it … although for wrong reasons :P

    Those buildings do look like millennium towers in a first glance.

    Hi Anirudh,

    Thanks for your opinion. I indeed have similar opinion like yours. Mumbai has a long way to go before coming close to Shanghai. But I am quite hopeful it will, in the next 8-10 years. :)

    Hi,

    I am working at Sanpada, and many of then are residing at Sanpada itself. I think none of them had heard about this in their local area. :)

    So keep enjoying and working.. It could be a thing to make people worried…

    Cheers.. !!!

    Hi Sandy,

    I agree with you. At first, I also didn’t believe it would be rumour but then my alert readers helped me digest the truth. Now that I am much relieved, I can party!! Long live Mumbai & its “sisters”.

    this is ridiculous
    Indians are seems to be happiest peoples on earth in shaming and ridiculing their own country .
    i have seen numerous beggars and homeless on European streets , but never in a forwarded mail.
    so if you don’t have any good to spread ,dont spread/fwd any thing …….

    Sagar Reply:

    Hi Hemant,

    Thanks for your comment. I respect your opinion, but it is not entirely true. In fact, you are doing the same thing as you’re cribbing about. If you want to do something for our country, the first thing you should do is stop writing derogatory comments anywhere… Besides, I hope you’re able to read English clearly - still I would request you to read my post once again and carefully read the “Update” section in red color. Thanks…
