Two disasters struck L ward on Friday as the heavy monsoon rain continues to lash the city. The intermittent, but heavy rain, did not even spare the BMC, damaging its training centre in Powai, which has been converted into a Covid-19 quarantine and isolation facility. Another incident was reported in Andheri East, where a portion of a bridge caved in, shutting down vehicular movement.

The retaining wall of the isolation and quarantine centre at Chandivali, Powai, collapsed and its open area sunk in, taking down several vehicles parked on the premises. Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries. Either the excessive rain or construction work nearby could have caused the massive damage.
