Fourteen people have died after a massive billboard fell on them during a strong dust storm in Mumbai's Ghatkopar yesterday. Rescuers are still looking for survivors as many are feared trapped. BMC additional commissioner Sudhakar Shinde told NDTV the rescue operations are in the last stage. "The rescue ops will be completed in a few hours," he said. "Many of those who were hit by the debris were filing fuel, and some were there to take shelter from the rain. Strong winds brought down the billboard," he said. "All BMD departments and NDRF teams are working together with the police on the rescue ops. We have admitted 80 people in hospital," he added.
