Mira Road Accident: Slab of Dilapidated Building Collapses, 4-Year-Old Child Dies

A terrible incident occurred on Sunday night in the Nayanagar area of Mira Road. The slab of the third floor of a 40-year-old dilapidated building named Noorjahan suddenly collapsed. It fell directly onto the second floor, tragically trapping the family living below. In this accident, a four-year-old child died, and his father was seriously injured. They are currently undergoing treatment in the hospital.

Question Mark on Dilapidated Buildings

Local residents say that the building is old and in a dangerous condition. The angry question being asked by locals is why the building, which has been dilapidated for so many years, was not declared dangerous and vacated in time. Although the administration has ordered the immediate evacuation of the building after this incident, the finger is being pointed at the inactive functioning of the municipal corporation.

Grief and Anger in the Area

There is an expression of grief in the area after this incident. There is a wave of anger among the citizens due to the loss of an innocent child's life. "If the administration had taken the right steps at the right time, a child's life would not have been lost," expressed the locals.
