Highlighted Comments

Authorities are now telling it's unauthorised, were they sleeping till now. What a shame and what a joke.

Why Municipal corporation was sleeping when Building getting constructed after collapse they r saying Building was illegal. No moral. What about people who got died? Did their lives return?

This is beyond sad. What is the victims' fault here? That they are born in India and became a victim to the thekadar-babu-engineer mafia?

I completely support the guy, locals are jealous of outsiders & also because the amount of hold & power they have over Marathis is crazy.
