A 15-year-old girl fell about 70 feet from the Naigaon flyover in Vasai after reportedly losing balance while sitting on the bridge's edge; she was rescued by a nearby fisherman and is reported safe. This incident has raised local concerns over inadequate flyover railings. Separately, residents of a dilapidated building in Mahim, Mumbai, have highlighted safety risks due to a collapsed entryway and allege repeated complaints to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation have gone unaddressed, raising broader questions about civic maintenance and public safety.
