In a major setback for the administration of the Mumbai civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), their internal inquiry report into the deadly tree collapse has been rejected by their general body, with the mayor ordering a new and independent third-party investigation into the accident. A peepal tree was uprooted and fell on a moving school bus in Chembur (West), killing an 11-year-old student, Vihaan Srivastav, on June 30.
The BMC had constituted a three-member committee to probe the incident. On Monday, the inquiry committee submitted its report, in which it recommended fines of Rs 5 lakh and Rs 2 lakh on the road work contractor and supervising consultant, respectively. It found no prima facie negligence on the part of both departments - Garden and Roads.
