1 month after Dockyard Road building collapse, survivors build new lives in new homes

It’s a new beginning for the families who survived the Babu Genu market building collapse at Dockyard Road on September 27. They are now carrying on with their lives in their newly allotted homes in Ghatkopar. The homes are unfurnished, apart froma few kitchen vessels. Idols of deities are placed in a corner ofthe house. The families are trying to make ends meet with the amount they have received as compensation for those they lost in the collapse. Homelessness and uncertainty of government procedures regardingtheir accommodation has only added to their problems.

Future imperfect: After having lost everything, the Kamble family is worried about the future of their four-year-old daughter Bhagyashree
