Residents of Panchasheel Nagar in Mumbai face uncertainty after tenements were demolished without proper documentation. They struggle to prove their eligibility for compensation.
Around 15 commercial units and some houses were destroyed in a massive fire that broke out in a chawl in Mumbai's Govandi in the early hours of Saturday.
The residents returned to the site of their broken homes, sitting amid the debris under umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun. They had either slept amidst the mess or at relatives’ homes. Some houses still remained standing, saved by the protest
Mumbai's air quality remained 'moderate' at 190 on Saturday, with Govandi being the only area marked as 'very poor' due to PM10 particles. Other areas also had poor air quality. The city's temperature was higher than normal, with the forecast indicating similar temperatures in the coming days.
