Thane: 33-year-old building dangerously tilts; residents evacuated
What's the story
The Thane Municipal Corporation evacuated a 33-year-old, four-storied building "Noorani Mahal" that dangerously tilted in Mumbra. The residents weren't willing to move out, so officials forcefully evacuated them; the building began leaning over 15 days ago. Contrary to the residents' claims, civic authorities said a notice about the building's dangerous condition was earlier served. The residents are now demanding accommodation in rental homes.
