Chembur tree mishap: Ex-Mumbai University vice-chancellor to head panel for fresh probe

The BMC has appointed an independent committee to re-examine the Chembur tree crash incident. This new inquiry follows criticism of the civic body's initial internal investigation. Professor Sanjay V Deshmukh will lead the single-member committee for one month. Vihaan Srivastava's family welcomed the expert but seeks accountability from officials. They desire a full record and empowerment for the committee to name responsible parties.
