Two wadas collapse,one injured

A person identified as Rushikesh Thakur sustained minor injuries and was shifted to hospital before the fire brigade team arrived. Fire officer Sunil Gilbile who led the rescue operation said,“Though only small part of the wada collpased,it indicated that the entire structure has become very weak.”

In another incident within an hour of the first,a portion of the Badhane wada near Akra Maruti Kopra in Shukrawar Peth collapsed around 5am. No one was injured as the affected portion was not occupied. Gilbile who was on call here too,said,“The wada is 70 to 80 years old. It could be clearly seen that the rest of the wada has developed many weak spots.” There have been three incidents of old wadas collapsing in the past two days.
