The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation identifies 500 unsafe buildings, mandating structural audits to prevent collapse and ensure resident safety in the city.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has introduced mandatory independent geotechnical audits for foundations of all buildings exceeding 180 meters. This stringent new mandate aims to bolster structural safety amid complex urban development and follows previous foundation failures in the city's high-density zones.

The recent fatal collapse of a building in Byculla, Mumbai, due to illegal structural extensions, serves as a harsh reminder of the city's ongoing battle with unsafe, unauthorized constructions.
