Warning bells are pealing at Worli Koliwada, after a portion of a wall near the Navy facility abutting Worli Seaface, collapsed late on Monday. Several bikes parked near the wall, and belonging to Worli villagers, were damaged. Nobody was hurt. A JCB, firefighters and Navy staff were on the spot soon. The debris was cleared.

While acknowledging that different agencies were on the spot quickly, Watchdog Foundation founder Godfrey Pimenta asked why the authorities had not acted with the same speed when complaints were submitted. "Though I do not reside in Worli, a number of Worli Koliwada residents had approached my foundation with conerns about this structure. We sent a letter through to the civic chief and ward officer in June itself." The village is located next to Worli Seaface.
