People from the neighbouring buildings rushed to lend a helping hand. It was only after midnight the fire engines managed to reach the spot. The search for the victims buried under the debris is still on. Those who escaped with minor injuries are being treated at the nearby Goodwill Hospital. Victims with major injuries have been rushed to hospitals in nearby Thane and Mumbai.
