The aftermath of the Ghatkopar hoarding tragedy is grim. Chaos reigns. There is severe damage to the petrol pump and many vehicles, which are now beyond repair. They are piled up in a mess, an extensive report stated in this paper. While police officers guard the accident site, rag pickers and drug addicts roam the area, scavenging for valuable motor parts and stealing iron angles and rods to sell cheaply to nearby scrap dealers.
About six police officers have been deployed at the site to guard the wreckage. However, the government has not provided them with basic amenities like washrooms and drinking water in this extreme heat. As a result, the officers often have to walk to nearby shops to buy water.
