A wooden window structure at Durvesh Tea Shop on MG Road, near Fashion Street, collapsed earlier this evening around 7:30 PM, reportedly due to the intense vibrations caused by loud DJ music being played as part of Eid-E-Milad celebrations.
The tea shop’s owner, Shafi Shaikh, a senior citizen who has been residing in the same building for several decades, expressed deep concern over the impact of high-decibel sound on the structural integrity of old buildings.

Shaikh, who lives alone in the ageing structure, voiced his disappointment and urged authorities to take immediate action. “This level of noise is not just a disturbance; it’s dangerous. The police need to take this seriously before something worse happens,” he added.
