While a three-member committee was to submit the report by Wednesday, sources said they may need one more week. Ram Kadam, BJP MLA from Ghatkopar said residents will be given temporary homes by the end of the week. We are trying to give them homes in Ghatkopar itself,” said Kadam, adding there is no policy to provide temporary or permanent homes to those affected by building collapse. Binita Ramchandani, whose parents lived on the fourth floor of the building, said, “Every time we approach the authorities, we are told we would get temporary homes soon. On Monday, they told us 2-3 buildings in Ghatkopar have been shortlisted [for our accommodation].”Read: After Ghatkopar building collapse, can BMC act on 22,000 other illegal structures in Mumbai, please?
