BMC Clears 3,841 Hazardous Trees After Fatal Monsoon Incidents
The BMC in Mumbai has been working hard to remove dangerous trees and branches after three people were sadly killed by falling trees during the monsoon.
They have already cleared 3,841 trees and branches, but there are still some left to clean up.
The BMC is asking everyone to stay safe by not standing under trees during heavy rain or strong winds and to call them if they see any trees that might fall.
They have a special number, 1916, for people to call if they see a dangerous tree or branch.
BMC cleared 3,841 hazardous trees and branches between June 22 and July 17, 2026.
Three fatal incidents involving falling trees prompted the intensified cleanup.
902 trees were uprooted and 1,251 branches collapsed during this period.
Clearance work is ongoing at 542 locations due to various challenges.
BMC has advised citizens to avoid standing under trees during heavy rain and to report hazardous trees to their helpline at 1916.
