Incidents of wall collapse due to heavy rainfall in the city have forced the forest department to send a reminder to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for a structural audit of the Tulsi Dam, which has been pending for more than two years now. The lake, which is situated in the core forest area of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), supplies potable water to the surrounding areas.

According to sources, last week following reports of damage to a small part of the wall ahead of the Vihar Dam, civic officials had said that it would be fixed once the water level of the lake goes down. The officials further said that they would engage experts to inspect the dams in the city and carry out the required audits.
