more-inMumbai: For over 16 hours, Rajesh Deora waited for news of his family surviving the Ghatkopar building crash. The third-floor resident of Sai Darshan Society had left for work when it collapsed on Tuesday morning, claiming 17 lives and injuring 30. Mr. Deora rushed back from his workplace in Masjid Bunder to find the building he had called home was now a pile of rubble. The Deoras were residents of Sai Darshan since 11 years, and were looking to move elsewhere in Ghatkopar, when tragedy struck. “Every time someone was pulled out, I would hope it was one of them,” Mr. Deora said, heartbroken.
