Though the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said that they have taken all precautionary measures to prevent accidents caused by trees falling during heavy rains, an old tree came crashing down at Roshera Apartment near KC College in Churchgate around 10 am yesterday.

Two cars, which were parked near the 70-year-old tree, were damaged. No injuries were reported. However, it took the fire department officials over six hours to clear the road. The ageing tree was completely uprooted from the ground, as it could not contain the weight of its branches.
