Residents of the BMC sweepers’ colony say parts of the ceilings, walls, even slabs falling are a regular happening; civic official says she will inform ‘the officer concerned’

The dilapidated condition of the buildings in the sweepers’ colony at Goregaon
High-Rises, flyovers, the Metro over and underground, and the coastal road are all coming up at varied speeds to make Mumbai a world class city; but some of those cleaning this metropolis are afraid of staying in their own homes. So dilapidated are these structures that every day they fear part of the ceiling, or a slab, or the whole building will collapse. This is the reality for residents of BMC sweepers’ staff quarters at Goregaon. They feel the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) doesn’t care about them and is waiting for a big incident.
