The building was identified as he A-wing of Gitanjali Complex. There are 4 buildings in the Gitanjali Complex. All of them has been designated under the C1 category by BMC (Mumbai Municipal Corporation) in 2020 itself.
Living here was like taking a chance with life. However, the residents challenged the decision of BMC in the High Court. Since the matter was sub-judice the BMC did not take any action against the residents of the building.
Today, the residents felt tremor in the A wing building of Gitanjali Complex. At around 10 am, the 3 families living in the building were evacuated. Within two hours of the evacuation the building collapsed.
