The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday appointed an expert from the Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) to find the reasons behind the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse in Mumbai that claimed 14 lives, reported the PTI.

As per a preliminary observation, "foundation failure" could be the reason for the collapse of the 120 x 120 feet hoarding erected on a piece of land in possession of the Government Railway Police, said a BMC official, as per the PTI.
