Mumbai rains live: Tree collapses: lives lost, lessons yet to be learned
Mumbai rains live: For Mumbai residents, trees have become an unexpected source of fear. Two people have already been killed by falling trees in the first seven months of this year — an 11-year-old boy crushed inside his school bus last week and a 15-year-old girl traveling in a rickshaw in May. Since 2023, falling trees and branches have claimed 11 lives.
Citizens say every collapse is a reminder of institutional neglect. The numbers indicate that the risk is only increasing. In 2024, 653 incidents of falling trees or branches were reported, and the number rose sharply to 855 incidents in 2025. This year, 411 such incidents have already been reported, even though the monsoon has just begun.
Frustrated by civil inaction, citizens turned to the courts. A public interest litigation before the Bombay High Court seeks to remove excess concrete around roadside trees, arguing that it has suffocated their roots, weakened them and made them more vulnerable to collapse. Behind every statistic is a family whose life has been irrevocably changed. HT spoke to five such families. Their stories reveal the human cost of alleged civilian negligence.
