The lights went off on the eve of Diwali for 32 families residing at the housing quarters of the Mumbai Fire Brigade in Byculla. But a week later, while 30 of the firemen and their families have been provided with alternative accommodation, two families continue to stay in the dilapidated and dangerous building because the BMC has failed to put them up anywhere.

While most others who were evicted on November 2, were given accomodation, the Shinde and Bhosle families continue to live on the premises. File photo
