Disaster season seems to have begun even with Mumbai at least two weeks away from the monsoon. A 37-year-old man died of his injuries after a tree fell on him in Andheri East. He did battle for his life for five days after which he died.

The grieving family has blamed the BMC, though the civic authority's garden department claimed they had trimmed the tree a fortnight before the incident. They claimed the civic stormwater drain department had damaged the tree's roots during drain work, alleging it was this work that triggered the crash.
