Hundreds of families will be urgently moved from around 30 dilapidated buildings in flood-damaged Mumbai, a top official said yesterday, hours after a three-storey apartment block collapsed and killed six people.

"There are at least 28 to 29 extremely dangerous buildings where 900 families reside which will have to be vacated definitely in the next seven days," said Vilasrao Deshmukh, chief minister of Maharashtra state of which Mumbai is the capital.
