Chembur school bus tragedy: BMC says crash caused by decay and damaged roots of tree
A Chembur tree collapsed, killing an eleven-year-old boy due to internal decay. The civic body's preliminary report cited damaged roadside roots as a major cause. Officials were suspended following the incident, with one recommendation for reinstatement. The panel suggested a 'Vrikshmitr' initiative for community tree monitoring. This tragedy involved a school van and injured four other children. A Chembur tree collapsed, killing an eleven-year-old boy due to internal decay.
