A week after the Ramabai Apartment collapsed in Palghar’s Virar West area killing 17 people and injuring nine more, another building in the district tilted dangerously on Tuesday afternoon.

However, alert residents immediately vacated the society and informed the fire brigade and municipal corporation about the incident, thus preventing another tragedy.

According to the residents of Saba Apartment in Nalasopara East, the structure was constructed about 20 years ago. On Tuesday, around 4.30 pm, cracks were spotted in the building’s pillars and the structure began tilting to one side.
