The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation informed the Bombay High Court that a special compensation of Rs 10 lakh would be provided to the parents of two children who tragically drowned in an open water tank at Maharshi Karve Garden in Wadala. The parents, speaking to mid-day, expressed their intention to relocate to Baroda, Gujarat, once they receive the compensation, as they do not have a permanent residence in the city.
 
We are relieved that the BMC will pay us the amount. We, as a family, have decided that we will first complete all the rituals. I have three more kids and we will go to Baroda for their better future as we have no permanent house in the city and we have been struggling to stay here,” said Manoj Vangri, the victim’s father.
