Three BEST bus mechanics were injured when part of a ceiling slab collapsed at Majas depot in Mumbai at 6.45 am on Thursday. The area was a storeroom and rest space for staff working with a wet-lease contractor’s engineering department. BEST said Riyan Shaikh, Salman Khan and Mujamdin Khan were treated in hospital and were stable. The Times of India reports that one worker needed stitches, while two were discharged after treatment. The incident has renewed concern about ageing depot buildings. Shiv Sena (UBT) BEST committee nominee Nitin Nandgaonkar called for an immediate structural audit of all Mumbai depots and accountability in the civil department. He said he had sought repairs in March after finding some depots in poor condition. BEST said the affected structure would be assessed.
