India, July 6 -- At least 6 people, including 5 children, were killed after a four-storey chawl collapsed in Mumbai's Mankhurd area on Sunday night amid relentless monsoon rains that have battered the city over the past several days. Rescue teams worked through the night to clear debris and search for anyone feared trapped under the rubble.

The incident occurred around 8.30 pm at Chawl No. 5 in Janta Nagar, behind Hanuman Mandir, when a portion of the ground-plus-three-storey structure suddenly gave way, crashing onto an adjoining ground-floor shanty. Officials said the deceased included five children aged between two and 14 years and a 32-year-old woman. One person also sustained injuries and was shifted to hospital for treatment.
