Nearly two months after the partial collapse of Bhole Apartments in Khar West which resulted in the death of a nine-year-old girl, the two standing wings of the building have also been declared as dilapidated. The society appointed a contractor who is demolishing the remaining portion of the building.

After the partial collapse which took place on September 24 residents of the remaining two wings had approached the H-West ward office to let them remove their belongings. However, due to the precarious condition of the building, civic officials had asked the society to conduct an independent structural audit to determine its condition.

"The structural audit put the building under the C1 (to be evacuated /demolition immediately) category of dilapidated buildings. We allowed them to remove their belongings. But since the building is in a bad shape, it has to be demolished," said an official from the H-West ward.
