Pune: Ahead Of Monsoon, PMC Inspects Dangerous Walls; 33 Dilapidated Wada Demolished
Pune, 4th June 2021: In the rainy season, there is a possibility of a loss of life due to wall collapse. Against this backdrop, the building development department of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has surveyed 300 places in the city and removed three labour camps. Four owners have been issued notices as the border walls have become dangerous.
Construction is underway at several places in the city, where labourers live in tin-shed houses along the boundary wall. In the rainy season, these walls become dangerous and fall on houses which cause fatalities. In Pune, such incidents have taken place in the past where many labourers and their families have died in their sleep.
