Maharashtra Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Monday night visited Mumbai’s Kurla where a four-storey building collapsed and said that such property should be vacated on the notice of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

“Whenever BMC issues notices, (buildings) should be vacated themselves…otherwise, such incidents happen, which is unfortunate…It’s now important to take action on this,” Thackeray told ANI.

He had added, “Around five to seven people were rescued. All 4 buildings were issued notices, but people continue to live there. Our priority is to rescue everyone…In the morning we’ll look into evacuation and demolition of these buildings so that nearby people aren’t troubled.”

“A 4-storey building collapses in Naik Nagar. Fire brigade team, and police at the spot as the rescue operation continues,” Pravina Morajkar, Corporator had told media persons here.
