Three nurses from GT Hospital, Fort, who were on their way to report for night duty were among the five people who lost their lives when a bridge abutting Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus collapsed on Thursday evening. Altogether 32 people were injured in the incident.

The victims were admitted to the two nearest State-run hospitals, St. George and GT, while one victim was taken to Bombay Hospital.

The nurses, Apoorva Prabhu (35) and Ranjana Tambe (40) were declared dead at GT Hospital with multiple severe injuries. A third nurse, Bhakti Shinde (40), succumbed during treatment at the St. George Hospital. All the three nurses were residents of Dombivali.

“They may have taken the same train to reach their workplace,” said a distraught Rajendra Shinde, Bhakti Shinde’s husband.

At GT Hospital, the staff rushed to attend to their colleagues. The nurses who were responding to the disaster broke down when the doctors failed to revive Prabhu and Tambe.
