14 Dead in Billboard Disaster: Will "Spirit of Mumbai" Excuse Work Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

14 Dead in Billboard Disaster: Will "Spirit of Mumbai" Excuse Work Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Rains brought a dust storm to Mumbai on Monday. The storm knocked down a giant billboard in Ghatkopar, killing at least 14 people and injuring 74. After the disaster unfolded, Mumbai's municipal corporation said that the billboard was illegal. The corporation has belatedly promised to remove other illegal billboards in the city. Meanwhile, Monday's rains led to train delays and a stampede in Thane. It's the same story every year, where the people of Mumbai are subjected to horrible conditions and their tolerance in lauded as the "Spirit of Mumbai". Has the "Spirit of Mumbai" become an excuse for officials to not do their jobs?
