The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation hasn’t moved the survivors of the building collapse in Kurla’s Naik Nagar society, to shelters. While some survivors were forced to spend the night on the road, some spent the night at co-workers’ places. The Mumbai police on Wednesday said that a total of 19 people were killed and 15 sustained injuries in the building collapse. 

Ramraj Sahani, one of the survivors, was discharged from the civic-run Rajawadi hospital of Ghatkopar, after being treated for head and leg injuries on Tuesday. Sahani, who works as a labourer, said he is staying with his co-worker. “Nobody told us about moving to a shelter. We—about eight of us labourers—lost everything in the building collapse. I don’t have a single paisa for food. I am staying with my co-worker, who is also a contract worker,” Sahani said.
