Colaba resident Khushrow Minoo Boyce, 61, underwent surgery at Breach Candy Hospital on Monday on his left hand. It is vital that his broken left arm regains function, as Boyce works as a television repair person.

Boyce, a resident of Cusrow Baug, a Parsi Colony in Colaba, suffered fractures to his arm and nine broken ribs on June 17. Boyce was riding his scooter after returning from Dadyseth Bungalow at Kemps Corner. As he rode along, the parapet wall of a Grand Paradi row house, the society has three towers and 14 row houses, fell down. Dr Merwaan J Farog, Boyce’s relative said, “Boyce had the presence of mind to swerve slightly to the right as the wall came down or he may have lost his life. He was rushed to Breach Candy Hospital, after sustaining grievous injuries.”
