Twenty-four-year-old Sonam Yadav was working in this Kandivli-based godown for the past two years, but all hell broke loose after the premises got shifted to Ganesh Chowk area a month ago and the unit started functioning illegally there.

On Friday, a huge pile of wooden planks and laminated sunmica crashed on her, trapping her under the debris for four hours, which eventually led to her death. However, local activists and politicians said BMC was responsible for the incident, as they should have taken action against the illegal structure.
