If the authorities had done their job right, she would have been alive today,” said the 42-year-old Mulund resident whose mother was crushed to death by a reversing dumper truck on Thursday. Speaking with mid-day on Friday, Rajendra Yadav blamed the BMC for dug up roads and the traffic police for failing to take action against parking that chokes the road where Chhaya Yadav died. 

Chhaya, who retired as a nurse from Rajawadi Hospital, lived with her grandchildren in the MHADA area in Mulund East. The 69-year-old had left home in the morning to withdraw her pension from the bank. Thereafter, she went to the market to buy vegetables.
