At least two people were killed as a building collapsed in Mumbai's Dongri area on Tuesday, officials said.
Several people are feared to be trapped under the debris.
Three National Disaster Response Force teams are working at the spot to rescue the trapped people.
BMC officials have blamed the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) and said that the body never has funds to renovate and repair buildings that are old and dilapidated, Times Now reported.
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said the main focus of the government at this moment is on the rescue operation.
