Ten people were killed and 13 injured after a four-storey building collapsed in the Kurla area of Mumbai around midnight, civic officials said on Tuesday.

A wing of the building located in Naik Nagar society collapsed while another wing was evacuated, as it too is dilapidated, officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.

According to a senior official, residents of the building had been repeatedly warned about the condition of the building, but they insisted on staying there.

Twenty-three people were rescued from the debris since midnight.

Ten of them were declared dead, four were admitted in hospitals, and nine were discharged from hospitals after treatment, an official said.

This is the third building collapse incident in the metropolis this month.
