MUMBAI: Survivors of the building collapse in Mazgaon have complained of negligence by the government authorities in providing them relief.

The BMC has only disbursed Rs 2 lakh each as compensation, and nothing has been done on the promised civic job front, they alleged.

It has been almost two months since the municipal building that housed BMC's markets department employees collapsed, however, the civic body has not offered jobs to any of the victims yet.

Survivors that the state government too had promised monetary help, but nothing has been done about it yet.

"Even the medical aid offered was not enough. We were given free medicines till we were in the hospital. However, there are some who have been prescribed medications for at least a year; those costs are being borne by us," said Sunil Kamble, who lost three of his family members in the collapse.

Belongings like cash and jewellery that was buried under the debris are reportedly not being handed over to the survivors as the police are demanding proofs. Residents, however, said that as they had lost all their documents in the collapse, they had been unable to furnish any proof. "Everyday, when labourers come to clear the debris, we try to identify our belongings. But the police don't let us take it," said another survivor.

The Babu Genu municipal market building collapsed on September 27, killing 61 people, mostly BMC staffers. Akhilesh Singade, whose pregnant wife died in the incident, said that he is yet to receive BMC compensation as the police goofed up her name in the panchama.
