Mumbai: The nineteen people have died and two seriously injured in Bharat Nagar Slum in a crew after a landslide on Bukit Barc and the next flush flood on Sunday 12.30.
At 2:00 p.m., the National Disaster Response Style (NDRF) still worked hard to draw three more people who were feared stuck under the rubble.
Residents who suffered injuries and those who had lived were damaged said that the flow of water and large dirt gushed after Cloudburst at 12:30 a.m., took some walls in three different locations and fell into their homes.
The hill wall was almost 50 cottages, made of brick and mortar collapsed, leaving many of those killed and injured, who had just slept after eating late at night.
The Chairman of the Minister of Uddhav Thackeray has announced RS 5 Lakh Ex-Gratia each for a died and maintenance-free family for injured.
Thackeray took stock of rescue operations and assistance by BMC in front of the city commissioner was Chahal.
He has requested strong coordination with NDRF, firefighters and police in rescue operations and wanted administration to be alert in the midst of estimates of heavy rain on Sunday.
The basic question people ask how they are allowed to live bordering the walls that have a hill right behind.
According to the BMC norm, there must be a certain distance for the residence of the wall.
“Why is this norm not followed?” Asked the BJP leader Kirit Somaiya.
This place is very risky so that other incidents can occur anytime if the huts are not shifting, he warns.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Bhai Jagtap Congress said that efforts to evacuate and make food and residence are available for around 500 homeless people and those who might be affected in other cases of heavy rain.
At midnight, all hell broke after suddenly Cloudburst on the hill gushed water and dirt in houses where almost 150 to 200 families lived.
The hillside part of their hutmen is not only collapsing but the equipment has also been swept away.
Reacting against the allegations that the fire department and NDRF reached a late point, senior fire extinguisher officials said they got the first call about the incident at 1.09 in the morning and at 2.15 in the morning, the first fire tender had started a rescue operation.
“After a higher level warning call at 4.38 in the morning, firefighting operation and NDRF began with swing,” he added.
NDRF officials also denied death due to electric shock after rumors that they were trapped in debris and died in contact with the living cable.
Rukhsana Khan, whose house was broken in the incident, said that her six-year-old child played close to the door, but because the door was closed, she was saved because she was stuck under the rubble.
Likewise, in the Laxmi Jogdandkar family, because almost all members are on the first floor of the house, floods only damage equipment and furniture on the ground floor, save them from injuries that can be fatal.
For residents of G Subhash who lost their jobs recently, rebuilding their hutments seemed impossible.
Likewise the case for Rupesh, who lost his job as a security guard and planned to return to his home place.
Shaikh Rukhsar and Rekha Manke, both of them were thirties and residents of the slums, had run the pillar to be sent since morning to save their valuables from swept if there was rain.
The whole environment they affected and they still eat their morning food.
We haven’t even changed clothes since 12:30 a.m.
after the incident happened, they showed.
CM Thackeray has also requested city authorities to ensure drain rainwater from low-lying areas to keep the free way from water holes for smooth vehicle movements.
He also searched for the earliest local train service restoration.
About Jumbo Covid-19 Center, he has asked them to ensure that medical facilities are not affected due to rain.
Minister of Aaditya Thackeray, Varsha Gaikwad, Commissioner of BMC Iqbal Chahal and a number of senior officials and leaders visited those places and reviewed assistance work.
