Cyclone Vayu: 63-year-old Mumbai man becomes first casualty as hoarding falls on him

A pedestrian was killed Wednesday after a portion of a cladding fell on him at the bustling Churchgate railway station in Mumbai. The cladding fell due to the strong wind blowing from the seaside due to the impact of Cyclone Vayu and the cladding could not withstand wind pressure.

Madhukar Narvekar (62) was passing through Churchgate station building when the portion, part of the 81 ft x 54 ft mural of Mahatma Gandhi, fell on him, a railway official said.
