BMC's negligence towards dangerous trees has led to the loss of another life. On Tuesday, a Dombivli resident died after a branch of a tree fell on the autorickshaw he was travelling in with his wife. She has suffered an eye injury but is stable. However, the autorickshaw driver is said to be critical. Following the incident, a local alleged that he had repeatedly written to BMC about the tree, to no avail.
According to civic authorities, the incident occurred on Guru Gobind Singh road in Mulund West. Ravi Shah, 31, and his wife Urvi Shah, 27, were on their way to Ravi's sister's home, after visiting a hospital in Mulund, in an autorickshaw being driven by Chandrabhan Gupta, 40. The branch fell on the rickshaw and struck Ravi and Chandrabhan in their heads, rendering Ravi unconscious on the spot.
