A 22-year-old pregnant woman had a narrow escape after the ceiling of her flat collapsed in at Nerul’s NL-2 Vighnaharta Co-operative Housing Society, Sector-1, around 5.30 am on Wednesday.

The woman, Arze Usman Ali, was fast asleep when the slab suddenly came crashing down.

 “I was sleeping when I heard a loud sound, and within seconds the ceiling fell. I felt a sharp pain and started bleeding from my head. It was terrifying because I am pregnant. Thankfully, neighbours rushed me to the hospital in time,” she told mid-day.
