After the collapse of a three-level structure in Malad’s Malvani area that killed 12 and injured seven on Wednesday night, authorities woke up to take action against irregularities. With residents of the slum haphazardly stacking up floor after floor without beam support, the Suburban Collector’s office and the BMC have together decided to conduct a survey and crack the whip. Demolition of a structure near the collapsed one was also started on Friday.
