The families of the two septuagenarians killed due to the slab collapse in Vikhroli East on Thursday evening have alleged that MHADA had delayed the process of issuing an NOC for redevelopment of the building, despite it being in urgent need of repair. The incident occurred around 6.30 pm at the Guru Kripa CHS building in Vikroli’s Kannamvar Nagar area.

“The documents were rotting with MHADA for 3-4 months. If they had issued the NOC on time, this mishap would not have occurred,” said the daughter of Suryakant Madhalkar who was killed in the mishap.
