Mumbai, May 16 -- As the monsoon inches closer, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has flagged 322 buildings across the city as 'extremely dangerous' and structurally unsound, classifying them under the C1 category - a label that necessitates urgent evacuation and demolition. Of these 322 structures, 57 have been vacated, but alarmingly, 74 continue to be occupied, putting hundreds of residents at severe risk. Civic officials have reiterated that the BMC will not be held liable for any loss of life or property if occupants ignore evacuation notices. The H West Ward, which includes Bandra, Khar, and Santacruz West, has the highest number of C1 buildings at 74, followed by P North Ward (Malad) with 45 and N Ward (Ghatkopar) with 44. In contrast, some city wards have only a handful of such dangerous buildings - C Ward (Marine Drive) has just one, while G South (Parel) and E Ward (Byculla) have two each. A civic official from BMC's encroachment removal department explained, "If a building requires more than 40% repairs, it's classified as C1. In such cases, demolition is often more economical and safer than restoration. We are solely focused on residents' safety and appeal to people to vacate these structures without delay."...
