Fourteen people have been rescued from the debris of a three-storey building that collapsed on Tuesday night near Crawford Market in south Mumbai, officials said.
The Yousuf building collapsed at 9.15 pm, an official of the fire brigade said.
The Mumbai fire brigade had initially said three-four persons were feared trapped under the rubble.
It was a 'cessed' building under the jurisdiction of state housing agency MHADA, according to preliminary information.
