Thane: A portion of a decades-old building in Maharashtra’s Thane city collapsed, prompting the evacuation of 17 families in the early hours of Tuesday. The incident occurred around 2:25 am at the Nandadeep building, located in the Kisan Nagar area of Wagle Estate. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

According to Yasin Tadvi, chief of the disaster management cell of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), the building was over 50 years old and had already been classified as dangerous under the C2B category after a structural audit conducted earlier this year. The C2B classification indicates a building that is structurally compromised and in need of urgent repairs or demolition.

The collapse involved a portion of the third-floor roof and the stair gallery. While the incident occurred while residents were inside, emergency services responded swiftly and the structure was completely evacuated as a precaution. Residents were relocated to safer locations by civic authorities.

Tadvi also confirmed that residents of two adjacent buildings were asked to vacate their homes temporarily and seek alternative accommodations, as a safety measure. “All emergency teams, including fire brigade and municipal officials reached the spot quickly and ensured the evacuation of the building,” he added as quoted by Media.

The incident has once again drawn attention to the large number of aging and unsafe buildings in Thane. According to civic data, a total of 4,407 buildings in the city have been classified as dangerous. Among them, the Mumbra area alone accounts for 1,343 such structures, the highest in any locality.

Monsoon-related vulnerabilities have added to the urgency of addressing these unsafe buildings. With rains expected to intensify over the coming weeks, civic officials have begun reissuing notices to occupants of such buildings, urging them to vacate in the interest of safety.

Mumbai: Controversy over I Love Muhammad banner; tension in Byculla; case filed against Ashfaq David for holding rally without permission

Published

on

Mumbai: Following the controversy surrounding the “I Love Muhammad” banner in Mumbai, police have filed a case against Ashfaq David for holding an unauthorized rally in Byculla Ghorup Dev. A protest was held yesterday afternoon in Modi Compound with “I Love Muhammad” placards. No police permission was obtained, prompting police to file a case against Ashfaq last night and release him after serving a notice the same night. The case against Ashfaq has been filed for holding an unauthorized rally, but not for writing “I Love Muhammad” (PBUH). Furthermore, attempts are being made to give this matter a religious twist, and communal elements are conspiring to disrupt law and order in Mumbai under the guise of the “I Love Muhammad” banner, which is why police are on high alert. The FIR filed against Ashfaq by Byculla police is registered under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the IPC. Mumbai Police have registered a case under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the I Love Muhammad Act for holding an unauthorized rally as part of the I Love Muhammad movement. This is the first case registered, sparking political debate. AIMIM leader Waris Pathan stated that the case was wrong and could have been filed in an NC case. He added that the police’s action in the I Love Muhammad case is unjustified. “We have the right to protest. No action is taken against those who spread venom against Muslims, but the police immediately file cases against Muslims.” The police have subsequently denied this. This action has angered Muslims, who claim the police are quick to take action against Muslims. The police have since denied this, stating that the case was not filed for displaying the I Love Muhammad banner. There should be no attempt to distort it.
