At least three people were killed and nine others injured after a four-storey building collapsed in the power loom town of Bhiwandi in Thane district on Friday morning, police and fire officials said.

The names of the deceased have been given as Rukhasar Yakub Khan (18), Parvin Bano Khan (36) and Ashfaq Mushtak (38).

The incident happened at around 9 am when the building, located at Nehru Nagar in the Nai Basti area of Bhiwandi, collapsed.

While a few residents ran out of the building in the nick of time some were trapped in the debris, officials said.

Since the incident happened at 9 am most of the men had gone to work and youngsters had left for schools and colleges, according to officials.

Work was still going on to clear the debris while the search for people trapped within was going on.

However, the work was hampered by the narrow lanes which made it difficult for ambulances and fire
engines to be brought in, police said.

Shortly after the crash, the district administration rushed in a team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to carry out relief and rescue operations.
