Activists and political parties had submitted several complaints to the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation about the ongoing encroachment and unauthorised constructions in and around Wagralpada area of Rajawali in Vasai, said a senior crime branch officer who is probing a case filed in connection with the landslide that rocked the area on July 13. He further alleged that the civic body still did not take any action.

Two separate cases have been filed in connection with the landslide which claimed two lives—Amit Jitendra Singh, 40, and his daughter Roshni, 16.
