GHMC learns from Mumbai tragedy
Hyderabad: Tuesday’s wall collapse in Mumbai heavy rain that left 27 dead and another incident which happened last week in Pune in which 15 were killed have prompted the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to carry out a survey of the retention walls and compound walls in the hilly areas of the city. The survey is being carried out in Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Goshamahal and other areas where there is a possibility of wall and building collapses due to heavy rain. GHMC zonal commissioner Musharraf Faruqui said, “The survey will help us identify vulnerable areas and prepare to deal with them. With climate change causing very heavy much rain in a short period of time, the GHMC officials have been asked to take preventive action as well as respond quickly to untoward events.
