Ignored warnings? BMC notice flagged tree roots damage on Chemburs 11th road months before fatal crash of Tuesday

A tragic incident in Chembur saw an 11-year-old boy lose his life when a peepal tree collapsed. Internal BMC communications reveal the garden department had repeatedly warned the roads department about root damage from ongoing works, risking tree falls during monsoon. Despite multiple notices highlighting the danger and potential responsibility, the warnings appear to have gone unheeded, raising serious questions about accountability and preventative measures.
