Summary: The death toll in a Mumbai building collapse climbed to 17 on Wednesday after five more bodies were found in the rubble of the four-storey structure during search and rescue operations that continued overnight. The 35-year-old Siddhi Sai building came apart at around 10.45am on Tuesday, trapping at least 28 people. The ground floor of Siddhi Sai building housed a nursing home, which was vacant, while three or four families occupied each of the three floors.

Close to 66 truck-loads of debris had been removed from the site of the residential building in suburban Ghatkopar till Wednesday morning, officials said, adding rubble was still being cleared.
