The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has imposed a Rs 25 lakh penalty on the contractor responsible for demolishing an unsafe building following a crane accident, while directing the agency to provide financial assistance for the treatment of those injured and compensate for damaged hutments and vehicles.

The building involved in the incident was constructed in 2005 by HDIL (Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd.) under a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme.
