Yet another building collapsed on Tuesday, leading to the loss of more lives. This time as well, officials said residents had been warned of the danger but continued to live there anyway.

Yesterday, this paper carried a story about how the building crash in Thane killed 12 people and wiped out two families in the process. Officials said the building’s redevelopment had been pending for a long time. The Thane City Mayor also mentioned that there are a total of 2,600 dilapidated buildings, of which 58 are in a very dangerous condition. Of those 58, however, only 36 have been vacated and are undergoing demolition.
