The building, which was built in 1980, had its ground floor leased to a decorator.  As Mumbai faced showers on Friday afternoon, the rescue work at the site where a five-story building had collapsed, has been hampered.

Though the debris are still being moved, the speed of the effort has been affected.

40 people are still believed to trapped in the building. This could include a reporter of a leading Marathi daily who also stayed in the building.

The death toll in the Mumbai building collapse has now reached five, with four deaths reported from JJ hospital and one from Nair hospital.
