Mumbai: Around 117 persons continue to reside in seven highly dangerous buildings of the city, confirmed the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) on Saturday.

The authority conducted a pre-monsoon survey of more than 14,000 cessed buildings in the city, of which, seven have been declared risky and capable of collapsing during the monsoon.

Apart from this, nearly 93 buildings under the civic body are of the C1 category, which is a dangerous category.  The authority has decided to forcefully vacate the residents if needed.
