BMC to Reconstruct Collapsed Banganga Tank Wall
Imagine a big pond called Banganga.
It has a wall around it to keep the water in.
Recently, a part of this wall fell down because of heavy rain.
The people in charge, the BMC, are going to fix it.
They plan to rebuild the broken part of the wall.
It will cost about 10 lakh rupees.
The wall was connected to some buildings that weren't supposed to be there, and those buildings were taken down earlier.
Luckily, nobody got hurt when the wall fell.
BMC will reconstruct a portion of the Banganga tank's retaining wall.
The wall collapsed after heavy rain on May 25.

The damaged wall was connected to unauthorized structures.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
