While it has been close to 20 days since the wall collapse at Pimpripada and Ambedkar Nagar in Malad East, the survivors, many of whom have lost their homes and loved ones, continue to live in misery. The authorities responsible for rehabilitating them only keep passing the buck to each other. The residents want to be shifted somewhere nearby, but the BMC is providing them with accommodation in the notoriously uninhabitable Mahul.

The families do not want to move to Mahul. Ambedkar Nagar resident Aman Gupta said, "We got to know that would be relocated to Mahul, but none of us want to go there. However, my mother said that the people conducting the survey told her that we might be shifted to Appa Pada." Along with Gupta's family, the Dushad family, currently residing in a tarpaulin house, are hoping to receive accommodation nearby.
