Meanwhile, BJP has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to hold 11 rallies in Maharashtra from November 8 to 14.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had, in a letter in 2017, reportedly asked the Kesarbai building — which collapsed on Tuesday — to be evacuated for demolition at the earliest adding that the office “would not be responsible” in the event of a mishap.
The BMC had issued a notice asking to carry out a structural audit and submit the audit report.
The audit report had classified the building as C1, meaning that it has to be evacuated for demolition at the earliest.
