The BMC has published a list of 331 buildings in the city, which are in a dilapidated condition. Of these, 67 per cent are still occupied, putting residents at severe risk.
Every year, before the monsoon, the municipal corporation releases a list of dangerous and unsafe buildings. This year, 331 buildings fell in the C1 category—these structures are beyond repair and need to be demolished immediately. The numbers are fewer when compared to last year, when 456 buildings were declared dangerous. During the last one year, 165 of these buildings were vacated and demolished. In 2019, the BMC had put 619 buildings on its dangerous list.
