MUMBAI: Two persons were killed in separate tree fall incidents in Mumbai's western suburbs on Wednesday amid rains, civic officials said.
A 30-year-old man was seriously injured when branches of a tree fell on a house in the Mitha Nagar area of Goregaon at around 3.35 pm, they said. The man, identified as Premlal Nirmal, was rushed to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared him "brought dead", said the officials.
In the second incident, a 38-year old person, identified as Kaushal Doshi, suffered injuries when a tree fell on him near Mamledarwadi Junction in Malad at around 7.30 am, they said.
Doshi was taken to civic-run Shatabdi Hospital, where doctors declared him "brought dead '', said the officials. Since Tuesday, Mumbai has witnessed 26 incidents involving falling of trees/branches.
Heavy showers led to waterlogging in many areas of Mumbai on Wednesday, forcing the closure of a busy subway in suburban Andheri, civic officials said.
