Mumbai will never learn, or so it seems. The Ghatkopar crash, which claimed 17 lives, is still making headlines, but a top preschool that has been served an evacuation notice by the BMC has refused to comply. Podar Jumbo Kids, which has over 50 students, has said that it will wait for the building’s owner to complete a structural audit before it takes any action. The little clause in the BMC notice that the preschool seems to be missing is that the BMC has deemed the structure unfit for occupancy and it wants the premises vacated immediately.
Other residents of the building vacated the premises months ago, following an earlier BMC notice. The report stated that six months ago, a government rationing office moved out, fearing the building would crash.
