Mayor says complaints by residents against developer to be probed
One person died after falling from 19th floor and 16 others were rescued after a fire broke out in the 60-storey Avighna Park in south Mumbai’s Currey Road area around midday on Friday.
The fire was doused by evening and Municipal Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has ordered an inquiry based on the complaints filed by other residents of the high riser.
Arun Tiwari, 30, was working as security guard in the building and was present at the 19th floor when furniture work was going on in one of the flats.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
