As BMC had ordered the probe into the fire at Dreams Mall, causing the death of 9 patients at Sunrise Hospital, gross mismanagement by the BMC, and the Fire Department has resurfaced. The mall, which is fighting a dispute and governed by an administrator appointed by National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), says that red flags were raised about the dire situation of the mall and its premises. The most startling thing of all is that the mall hasn’t had any water or electricity supply since 2016, and the administrator had questioned fire officials and the BMC on how they issued an OC to the hospital.

After the death of 9 patients in the blaze, Sunrise Hospital had blamed NCLT Administrator Advocate Rahul Sahastrabuddhe for mismanagement and ill-maintenance of the mall premises. mid-day reached out to Sahastrabuddhe, who proceeded to say that, “I have been appointed by the NCLT to oversee the mall’s common facilities and my mandate is to collect maintenance from shopkeepers, including the hospital itself. But except the small shopkeepers, the hospital, PMC Bank and other entities of HDIL have not cooperated and they haven’t paid a single rupee,” said Rahul Sahastrabuddhe.
