According to action taken by the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board, 36 residential tenants or residents have made their own alternative accommodation arrangements. So far, 46 residents have been relocated in the transit camps. Eviction notices have been issued to the remaining tenants or residents in these buildings, and the process of vacating the premises is underway. Additionally, arrangements for relocating 412 residential tenants or residents to transit camps are being planned by the Board, which is actively working on providing alternative accommodation in the transit camps.

The Board appealed to tenants or residents of these dangerous buildings to cooperate with the officers and staff of the Board by vacating the buildings as necessary and to follow safety instructions provided by the Board to avoid any accidents and potential loss of life and property. The Board also appealed to tenants or residents to immediately notify the control room of any signs of danger or accidents in the buildings, as the Control Room is operational 24x7.
