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.
