Mumbai | Friday | 23rd November, 2018

Summary:

Husaini Building was among those scheduled to be redeveloped under the cluster development plan of the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT). On May 26, 2016 the trust received permission to demolish the building. In 2011, the building was given a warning notice as it was declared dilapidated. No one can compensate for the lives lost in the unfortunate collapse but the monetary aid of Rs 5 lakh to each of the deceased families will provide a salve to their wounds. After a case was registered against unidentified office-bearers of the trust on September 14 last year, the J J Marg police arrested Shoaib Hashim, 56, in charge of the evacuation duties for failing to evacuate the tenants from the dilapidated building..
