About 70 families are living in fear in an upscale residential building at Lokhandwala in Andheri West, after its security guard cabin and some part of the surrounding area caved in, allegedly due to the ongoing redevelopment work of the nearby building. Mota Mansion Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. which is located at the fourth cross road, Swami Samarth Nagar, Lokhandwala Complex, has complained about the same to the BMC.

However, the builder has written to the chairman of Mota Mansion CHS saying he will reconstruct the compound wall and watchmen’s cabin within 10 days. The incidents took place on Monday around 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm, but fortunately no one was injured. A guard informed this reporter that after the cave in, a small explosion occurred near the Mahanagar gas pipeline near the cabin.
