Mumbai Hoarding Collapse Tragedy: Couple Found Deceased in Car Amid Decomposed State

A former 60-year-old general manager of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and his 59-year-old wife were tragically found deceased inside their car beneath an illegally erected, massive hoarding that collapsed during a severe storm in Mumbai. The couple, Manoj and Anita Chansoria, had stopped at a petrol pump to refuel when the fatal incident occurred. After a comprehensive search and rescue operation spanning 66 hours, their bodies were discovered in a decomposed state and were transferred to the nearby Rajawadi Hospital. The tragedy marked the passing of two lives among the 16 casualties and 75 injuries resulting from the hoarding collapse. The collapse also prompted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to initiate a vigorous campaign to eliminate illegal hoardings across the metropolis.
