Mumbai, Sep 1 (IBNS) : Rescue work concluded on Friday more than 24 hours after a five-storey residential building collapsed in Mumbai’s Bhendi Bazaar area on Thursday, killing 34 people and injuring at least 47 other, reports said.

The incident occurred two days after the city was pounded by a continuous downpour,  which is believed to have damaged the century-old building, located on south Mumbai's Pakmodia street,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences and called the incident “saddening”.

Maha CM Devendra Fadnavis has announced Rs 5 lakh compensation to each victim’s kin.

In the past one month this was  the third incident of building collapse in Mumbai.
