'My daughter lives in the building along with her two daughters aged five and two years and a son who is three years old. I don't know their fate'
There were around 40 flats in the building, the official said, adding those rescued were shifted to a local hospital at Mahad, which is around 170 km from Mumbai.
Local residents, who were watching the operation with baited breath, cheered with joy after the boy was rescued.
Mustafa Chaphekar said he was at home when he suddenly felt "tremors", following which he ran out into the balcony of his flat and asked others what was happening.
