Two individuals in Mulund, Hitesh Saste and Tanvi Kale, sustained severe injuries when a tree collapsed on them while they were riding their bike. Despite a previous request from a private entity in 2018 to cut down the dangerous tree, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) granted permission only for trimming, which was carried out twice. However, the tree deteriorated internally and suddenly collapsed, causing the incident. The victims and their families express frustration over the BMC’s failure to grant permission for felling the tree, which could have prevented the mishap.
