Relatives of 28 victims of the Lucky Compound building collapse await the promised sum of Rs 2 lakh, because the Thane district collector's office has not yet received verification of their identities from their native district's collectors
After a building collapse killed their loved ones, relatives and family members have to bear the pain of waiting for the compensation amount, as the disbursal is delayed due to slow government procedures. On April 4, the building in Lucky Compound at Mumbra came crashing down, killing 74 and injuring several others. After the tragedy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the families of the deceased.
