What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Scrutiny mounted on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation administration regarding safety lapses in Mumbai in July 2026, leading to the suspension of BMC officials. This followed a fatal landslide in the Kurla area in August 2026, which killed seven people and injured seven others, with the Mumbai Congress blaming the BMC for inadequate pre-monsoon safety measures. Separately, the Bombay High Court urged the BMC and citizens to take 'war-footing' efforts to ensure Mumbai is free from garbage and filth.
