Mumbai: Between the year 2008 and 2012, around 100 building collapses in Mumbai are recorded, claiming 53 lives and leaving 103 injured. In 2013, between April and June, the number of deaths has been staggeringly high at around 100. The destructing began long back and citizens always knew the weakening symptoms of their buildings. Then why they were still living in those structures till the devil finds them dead? The civic body has already marked the buildings that are in dangerous category and alarmed the ears but then what is the force that kept its residents glued to these dilapidated structures?We can see people in Mumbai living in terrible conditions, in slums, in buildings that are in a state of complete ruin and breaking apart by exposing deep cracks. The residents of these kinds of buildings are compelled to live in them because they can’t move. Obviously the property prices and rentals in the city are among the highest in Asia and this compels them to stay at their old place. They cannot buy or rent a new flat in the neighbourhood. It comes very expensive.Around 14000 buildings in Mumbai are more than 70 years old. Many of the tenants of these buildings pay a very meager amount of rent because of a law made by the state government long back. Nonetheless they cannot afford more than they pay. Thus the landlords are suffering from this rule and unable to shed any money for repairs and maintenance.The civic body has marked 953 buildings as ‘dilapidated and dangerous’ that are unsafe for habitation. Still people are forcefully living in these buildings as they have no alternative. But the poverty cannot be blamed alone. The illegal structures that use poor quality construction material shall also be banished, as many of the collapsed buildings were built illegally. The municipality should also make some provisions of compensation apart from just sending evacuation notice.займ на карту без отказов круглосуточновзять кредит онлайн
