While two government agencies disagree, locals affected by a disaster continue to be at risk. The Forest Department (FD) wants the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to arrange for temporary rehabilitation for those affected at Pimpripada and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Nagar due to the landslide and wall collapse, but the civic body has claimed that they have not yet received instructions to do so. The BMC has started demolishing part of the wall that is still standing and is damaged.

Along with the police, BMC and FD officials have requested residents of hutments close to the dangerous wall to vacate them, so that it can be shortened and there is no risk to their lives. But the FD wants the BMC to provide them temporary housing within the periphery of 20 metres of the wall. BMC officials said they don't have houses in Malad to accommodate them and as the FD does not have the exact number of people, it would be difficult to make such arrangements. If the BMC has to provide them temporary accommodation, it will be at Mahul.
