Mumbai: Two building collapse in a week; BMC puts onus on land-owning authority

A second building collapsed in the suburbs this week, in a slum in Malvani, Malad. The BMC has claimed the areas are outside their purview as they are on land parcels owned by different agencies. Most of the houses in slums are erected without strong support pillars and walls, endangering the lives of their residents.
