According to the actions taken by the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board, 36 residential tenants/residents have made their own alternative accommodation arrangements. So far, 46 residents have been relocated in the transit camps. Eviction notices have been issued to the remaining tenants/residents in these buildings, and the process of vacating the premises is underway. Additionally, arrangements for relocating 412 residential tenants/residents to transit camps are being planned by the Board. The Board is actively working on providing alternative accommodation in the transit camps.

The Board has appealed the tenants/residents of these dangerous buildings to cooperate with the officers and staff of the Board in vacating the buildings as necessary and to follow the safety instructions provided by the Board to avoid any accidents and potential loss of life and property 

The Board also appeals to the tenants/residents to immediately notify the Control Room of any signs of danger or accidents in the buildings, as the Control Room is operational 24/7.
