Even as three landslides in the past month have left a number of residents of Jan Seva Society in Goregaon homeless, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is yet to provide them accommodation. The affected families have been living in a nearby school Bal Vidyalaya and some of them have even shifted to their neighbours' houses. While the civic body is supposed to provide them with houses within a 5-km radius, the BMC is asking them to shift to Mahul. However, the locals have refused to accept this considering the alarming levels of air and water pollution in the area.

The first landslide happened a month ago on July 2, the second one took place on July 24 in which 30 families were affected and the third one occurred on August 5 in which 15 families were affected. Society chairman Suresh Punan Prajapati said, "Most of the affected families were living on rent in the society, hence the collector did not conduct a survey. The BMC plans to vacate the stretch from Lucky Hotel to Raheja Township for which they are giving houses in Mahul. But, as per the law, they should give houses within a 5-km radius."
