Ghatkopar Hoarding Collapse : Result of Shameless System

What Exactly Happened in Ghatkoper ?

Gusty winds may have disappeared along with heavy rains which lashed Mumbai city for less than hour, but its impact will remain etched in the memories of family members of 14 people who died after the illegal 120feet hoarding fell on bystanders yesterday (13 May). While the number of death remains at 14, the total number of injured plus death is 80. While the Maharashtra CM has ordered audits of all the hoardings across the state, this has been seen only as a knee-jerk reaction to an accident. Meanwhile, the Mumbai cops have registered a case against the owner of the hoarding Bhavesh Bhide, the firm Ego Media under IPC sections of 304, 338, 337, 34.
