More than three decades after the incident, families of the 19 people who died in the landslide tragedy at Carmichael Hill continue to wait for justice. A Sessions Court recently disposed of the case of Arvind Boricha, 56, who lost seven members of his family to the tragedy. The court while dismissing the case said that Boricha had not sent a notice to the BMC leading to disposal of the case.

The incident took place on June 25, 1985, owing to torrential rain in the city that brought down a portion of the hill near the plush Usha Kiran building on Carmichael Road along with the retaining wall of the building's swimming pool. The mud and water killed 19 residents living below the MP Mills Compound.
