An official from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) involved in the rescue operation at the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse site in Mumbai raised safety concerns, stating that gasoline-powered cutters cannot be used due to the presence of a petrol pump, which could result in a blast or fire. The collapse of an illegal 100-foot-tall billboard at a gas outlet in Ghatkopar on Monday killed 14 people and injured 74 others during dust storms and unseasonal rains.
