No person was injured in the incident which took place at Kisan Nagar in Wagle Estate, they said.
The ceiling plaster of the building’s second floor gallery fell at around 7 am, Thane Municipal Corporation’s disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said.
Local fire personnel and the regional disaster management cell team rushed to the spot for removing the debris.
