Building Collapse in Bhiwandi Highlights Risks of Unsafe Structures During Monsoon
A four-storey building collapsed in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, killing at least three people and raising concerns about residents trapped under debris. The incident highlights ongoing risks from ageing and unsafe buildings, especially during monsoon seasons. Despite regular inspections and classifications by local authorities like Mumbai's BMC, many families continue living in declared unsafe structures due to limited housing options and complex relocation challenges. The issue has been discussed in Parliament, with state and local bodies responsible for enforcement and redevelopment efforts.
