After a major mishap was averted in Borivli on Friday, when a four-storey residential building collapsed like a house of cards, the BMC approached the Bombay high court, which ordered residents to demolish the remaining three wings of the complex within 24 hours.

The A wing of Om Shree Geetanjali Nagar Society in Sai Baba Nagar collapsed around 1 pm on August 19. Five families were staying in the wing, but as they found big cracks in the walls they rushed out of the building. Nobody was injured in the incident. The BMC listed all the four wings in the C1 category of dilapidated buildings in 2020, but a few members had got a court stay. After the incident, the BMC approached the HC.
