BMC corporators have raised their voices against the death of 29 citizens in two landslides over the weekend in Vikhroli and Mahul. They have pointed out that despite a detailed study carried out by the BMC’s Disaster Cell on landslide-prone areas, almost nothing seems to have been done by the agencies concerned to ensure protection to these precarious structures.
Thursday’s standing committee meeting was adjourned as a tribute to the dead. No discussion was held on the landslide.
