A
Calculated Environmental Crime: Citizens Allege Developer Defeated - the Roots
on Purpose to Destroy Heritage Tree Under the Guise of an Accident
Special
Correspondence: Mulund - MUMBAI: A horrifying testament to reckless
urban development unfolded on N.S. Road today. A majestic, heritage tree - estimated
to be well over 100 years old - came crashing down directly opposite the Mulund
Police Station, crushing multiple vehicles and completely choking the arterial
road.
मुलुंड वेस्ट में
बिल्डर की बड़ी लापरवाही: पुलिस स्टेशन के सामने गिरा 100 साल पुराना पेड़; 'नियति एंटरप्राइजेस' की खतरनाक पाइलिंग ने खड़ी की बड़ी मुसीबत
एक सोचा-समझा पर्यावरण
अपराध: स्थानीय नागरिकों का आरोप - हादसे का बहाना बनाकर हेरिटेज पेड़ को
खत्म करने की थी पूरी प्लानिंग
विशेष संवाददाता: मुलुंड
- मुंबई: आज मुलुंड वेस्ट के
एन.एस. रोड पर बेलगाम और लापरवाह कंस्ट्रक्शन का एक बेहद डरावना रूप देखने को
मिला। मुलुंड पुलिस स्टेशन के ठीक सामने स्थित, करीब 100 साल से भी ज्यादा पुराना एक
विशाल ऐतिहासिक पेड़ अचानक भरभराकर गिर गया। इस हादसे में कई गाड़ियां चकनाचूर हो
गईं और यह मुख्य सड़क पूरी तरह ब्लॉक हो गई।
Special
Correspondence: Mulund - MUMBAI: A horrifying testament to reckless
urban development unfolded on N.S. Road today. A majestic, heritage tree - estimated
to be well over 100 years old - came crashing down directly opposite the Mulund
Police Station, crushing multiple vehicles and completely choking the arterial
road.
While
the physical blockage has brought Mulund West to a standstill, the underlying
cause has sparked absolute fury among local residents. This was no natural
disaster; it was a man-made catastrophe waiting to happen.
Preliminary
investigations and eyewitness accounts reveal that deep piling work was
actively being carried out at same plot - construction site. The developer
reportedly dug deep into the earth right next to the centenarian tree without
erecting mandatory shoring, retaining walls, or structural supports. Deprived
of its foundational soil and structural integrity, the massive tree simply gave
way.
A
Miraculous Escape: The Red Light That Saved Dozens of Lives
It
was a matter of pure, divine intervention that Mumbai is not mourning a massive
tragedy today. Moments before the tree collapsed, the traffic signal on N.S.
Road - regulating the flow from Mulund Railway Station toward the police
station - had turned red.
A
sea of commuters, public buses, and pedestrians were held back at the junction,
waiting for the light to change. Had that signal been green, the massive trunk
and canopy would have flattened moving traffic, undoubtedly resulting in severe
casualties and loss of life.
Instead,
the tree smashed onto the empty stretch of road, crushing parked four-wheelers,
scooters, and a stationary Mulund Police van. The impact was so violent that
branches reached across the thoroughfare, damaging the facades of buildings
opposite the site.
Who
is Accountable? The Names Behind the Negligence
As
the Mulund Fire Brigade and local police to cut through the massive timber and
clear the road, the community is demanding immediate, non-bailable criminal
action. The official project details displayed at the site place the
responsibility squarely on the following entities:
- Developer:
Niyati Enterprises
- IOD Number:
P-23610/2024/ (870 And Other)/T Ward/MULUND-W/337/1.
- Legal Name / Promoter:
Mr. Dishang Shah
- Architect Licensor:
Mr. Ankit U. Jain (M/S AR Design Studio)
- Architect Design:
Mr. Rahul Mehta
- RCC Consultants:
ZZ Consultants (Lic No. STR/K/211)
There
is a growing, fierce demand from residents and legal experts that the Mulund
Police must register a formal FIR invoking sections of criminal negligence and
endangerment against Mr. Dishang Shah, Niyati Enterprises, and the entire
technical team - including the architects and RCC consultants who failed to
oversee safe excavation protocols.
Current
Ground Situation and Traffic Alerts
The
vital stretch of N.S. Road remains completely paralyzed as emergency crews work
against the clock.
- Total Closure:
The road from Diksha Hotel up to Kanya Shala School is
strictly closed to all vehicular movement.
- Diversions in Place:
On-duty cops are redirecting all traffic toward Dr. R P Road and M
G Road. Expect severe bottlenecks across Mulund West for the next few
hours.
A
century of history was wiped out in seconds today because a builder chose
shortcuts over human safety. The structural damage can be cleared, but the
citizens of Mulund are making it loud and clear: those responsible for putting
hundreds of innocent lives at risk must face the full force of the law.
We
will keep you updated on the filing of the FIR and the progress of the cleanup
operations.
