In Mumbai, the aftermath of the catastrophic hoarding crash on May 13 continues to unfold. According to the BMC Disaster Control, two more bodies have been discovered in the debris, bringing the total death toll to 16. The bodies, identified as Manoj Chansoria, 60, and Anita Chansoria, 59, were found in a state of advanced decomposition.
Despite the tragic loss of life, the rescue efforts are still ongoing at the site of Chheda Nagar, now in its fourth day. The rescue team made significant progress on Wednesday, unearthing several vehicles buried under the massive hoarding. However, this discovery has also raised concerns about the possibility of more casualties.
The entire city of Mumbai was shaken by this devastating incident, especially considering the prevalence of hoardings in the area. With a total of 1025 large and small hoardings scattered throughout the city, the BMC has taken swift action to prevent any similar tragedies from occurring. They have begun removing all illegal or oversized hoardings that exceed the permitted size of 40x40 feet.
In addition to this, the civic body has also sent notices to the Central Railway and Western Railway, urging them to identify and remove any illegal hoardings on their properties immediately. It is crucial to ensure the safety of the public and prevent any further disasters caused by these structures.
As the rescue efforts continue and the city mourns the loss of life, it is clear that strict measures must be taken to regulate the use of hoardings in Mumbai. The safety of its citizens must be the top priority, and steps must be taken to prevent any more tragedies like this from occurring in the future.
