Mumbai High-Rise Residents Face Eviction by August 27th
A building in Mumbai called Willington View has a problem.
Some of the upper floors don't have the proper safety approvals.
A court has ordered the people living there to move out by August 27th because it isn't safe.
They tried to get help from the Supreme Court but were turned down.
The people living in those flats have to leave their homes, which they bought for a lot of money.
If they don't move out by the deadline, the government will force them to leave.
Residents of Willington View high-rise in Mumbai must vacate by August 27.
The Bombay High Court ordered the eviction due to lack of safety clearances.
The Supreme Court denied relief, upholding the rule of law.
Families face eviction from flats purchased for approximately Rs 1 crore, now valued at Rs 5 crore.
BMC will begin forceful eviction if residents fail to vacate by the deadline.
