Authorities need to visit the site and send qualified supervisors to quell qualms. Do not dismiss fears as carping and check if they are legit

For days now, Mumbai has been following news reports of a portion of the compound wall, along with the driveway at Lloyd's Estate C&D Wing (Wadala Heights Co-operative Housing Society), abutting Dosti Realty's under construction project at Vidyalankar College Road, Wadala East, caving in on Monday morning. Several cars were in the deep crater as a result of the cave in.
A report in this paper stated that in a joint meeting among various agencies held in Wadala Heights, the BMC directed developer Dosti Realty to follow only the directives stated in Court Commissioner Shantilal Jain's report, which asks the developer to keep the neighbouring societies in mind with respect to its ongoing construction. His report submitted to BMC's Building Proposal Department, following the cave in, recommends strengthening the building's foundation by erecting steel girders as a precautionary measure to the shore piling.
