No city administration has failed its citizens quite like Mumbai’s. A world-class metro reduced to a slum by 4-5 decades of corruption, apathy.
Thousands of buildings waiting to come down on those who live in them. When will the super-rich state and civic corporation act? #Dongri

Sad to hear such news everyday in Mumbai. Mumbai pays the highest tax and what do we get? Who is accountable for this loss of life?. BMC pls for god sake open your heart and stop holding the city at ransom. https://t.co/QNIav4rDfb

As another Mumbai Building Collapses yet another round of online condemnations will start but till time political accountability is fixed & examples are set by strict punishment more lives will continue to pay for negligence & laxity of Govt departments #Dongribuildingcollapse

मुंबई में एक चार मंजिला इमारत में फंसे लोगों की सकुशलता की प्रार्थना करती हूँ। मेरी संवेदनाएँ दुखी परिवारों के साथ हैं। राहत और बचाव कार्य में कांग्रेसजन यथासंभव सहयोग दें।

हाल में घटी ये तीसरी घटना है। आखिर क्यों समय रहते इस पर कुछ एक्शन नहीं लिया जाता?#MumbaiBuildingCollapse

It is so tragic that the @mybmc and @CMOMaharashtra fail the people of Mumbai over and over again and no one is ever held accountable!! Bridges and buildings collapsing year after year. Today over 40 people dead due to negligence in #Dongri #MumbaiRains #MumbaiBuildingCollapse https://t.co/Dkn9JW8O5U

#MHADA building collapse! Are we done with condolences and mourning! Sadly accountability is lost and passing the buck is new norm as innocent lives pay a heavy price!#Mumbai #Dongri

But a myopic leadership of our great country wants to take GDP to $5 trillion!

Another tragedy hits Maximum City. Expect the usual platitudes.

2 dead in Mumbai Dongri building collapse. 5 injured shifted to JJ Hospital. Still many trapped inside.

As per CM, 100 years old building collapsed, renovation permission was also given to that building, but there is delay on the part of builder.#MumbaiBuildingCollapse pic.twitter.com/QtyMMFL4xk

So sad to see such incidences keep happening. So whom we should blame..? This easy question can be seen over media and circulating well. I know this is governments job to see the facts too but isn't it our responsibility to care for ourselves. #Dongribuildingcollapse pic.twitter.com/XyHDeYWx4u

In 5 yrs (till July 2018) almost 2704 incidents of Building/Wall collapse.
234 people died/840 injured. But how many BMC officers/corporate/politicians booked under 302 for these 'Murders'??#DongariBuildingCollapse#MumbaiBuildingCollapse pic.twitter.com/yqX7SMveST

This is very shocking!! hundreds of Indians died in building collapses every year. Another building collapsed today in #Dongri, Mumbai.

2 days ago: At least 14 people have been killed when a building in Solan collapsed on Sunday.#MumbaiBuildingCollapse #Dongribuildingcollapse pic.twitter.com/fCkEtslbh9
