Dozens of people are feared trapped under the debris of a massive billboard that collapsed on a fuel station amid a strong dust storm in Mumbai's Ghatkopar this evening. Police said three people were killed and 59 were injured, APA reports citing NDTV.
The billboard was opposite the fuel station. Visuals show the structure crashing down right in the middle of the refuelling facility.
The metal frame of the billboard tore through the roof of several cars that were at the fuel station.
The police said teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) are at the site, and are looking for survivors trapped under the debris.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in a post on X said the state government has ordered an investigation into the incident.
