People are still trapped in it.
Apparently the houses which collapsed are near Trimurti Chawl, Room no 694 & 695. These houses were built beside the passing river (Nallah).
Because of the heavy rainfall and wind it caused the river level to rise, and the houses which were built beside the Nallah eroded the wall and the foundation, due to which it collapsed.
During the incident, small baby and other people drowned, luckily locals were able to save the baby and now admitted to V.N Desai hospital, but the adults and the other people drowned are yet to be found.
