Mumbai, June 8: The BMC has appealed to slum dwellers residing on hilly pockets of Vikhroli and Bhandup to relocate to safer locations as a precautionary measure against possible landslides during the monsoon.

There is a possibility of landslides during the monsoon season, landslides due to the flow of water from the mountains because of the rain, and collapse of houses, as well as the possibility of flooding of drains and washing away of huts," the statement said.
Precautionary measures urged
"The S ward Office has already issued cautionary notices and advice to the residents of dangerous buildings and shacks in this area. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the Municipal Corporation administration is once again appealing to the local residents of the concerned areas to evacuate to a safer place on their own," the BMC added.
