Trapped within a danger zone or Red zone, places vulnerable to heavy rains and floods, Malad’s Ambedkar Nagar residents and survivors of the 2019 wall collapse now have a ray of hope. Over 70 will soon be shifted to an SRA building just a few kilometres from the site of the tragedy that had left 28 dead and 132 injured.

The residents are awaiting a lottery that will facilitate the allotment of their flats and floors. Like every year since the incident, authorities have moved them to a makeshift shelter at Kurar Municipal School in Parekh Nagar, Malad East, to save them from potential mishaps in their slum pocket in the monsoon.
