The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has identified 188 dilapidated buildings across Mumbai, with a significant concentration of 47 in the eastern suburbs alone. This move comes as part of the BMC's ongoing efforts to ensure structural safety and mitigate risks associated with ageing infrastructure in the city.
The identification of these dilapidated structures underscores the pressing need for proactive measures to address potential hazards and safeguard the lives of residents. The BMC's focus on monitoring and assessing the structural integrity of buildings reflects its commitment to public safety and urban resilience.
In light of this development, the BMC is expected to initiate appropriate actions, including necessary repairs or evacuation measures, to mitigate the risks posed by these dilapidated buildings. Additionally, efforts to raise awareness among residents about building safety protocols and preventive measures are likely to be intensified to prevent untoward incidents.
The BMC's proactive approach in identifying and addressing dilapidated structures highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and maintenance of urban infrastructure to ensure the well-being of residents and the overall livability of the city.
