Mumbai, A tragic incident occurred in Mumbai when a large billboard collapsed during a severe thunderstorm, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 people and injuries to more than 75 others.
According to Kashmir Media Service, rescue efforts continued into Tuesday morning amid concerns that additional victims might still be trapped under the debris.
