Nearly 12 years after MiD DAY first reported how 6,000 people were living in 25 dilapidated buildings at Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar even after it had been declared ‘unsafe’ by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), only two things seem to have changed: the number of residents has gone up to nearly 10,000 and the condition of the buildings have deteriorated further, with most of them on the verge of collapse. It’s a disaster waitingto happen.
