<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMumbai:<\/span> Alleging negligence on the part of BMC officials, some MLAs on Wednesday demanded in the assembly that action be initiated against them for the death of an 11-year-old boy after a tree fell on a school bus in Chembur the day before.Shiv Sena MLA from Chembur Tukaram Kathe said this was not the first such tree fall in his constituency and BMC officials had failed to take any action on dangerous trees despite repeated complaints.\u201cOne child has died. He used to live in the building I reside in and he played with my grandchildren. This is the state of affairs. We have repeatedly taken up the issue of falling trees and branches, but BMC has not taken any action. Such dangerous trees must be cut. If builders submit an application to cut trees, BMC immediately gives them permission for it, but it doesn\u2019t cut trees that are dangerous and on the road. Action must be taken against BMC officials who were negligent and did not do their duties,\u201d Kathe said.MLA Murji Patel, also from Shiv Sena, attacked BMC too and demanded that the state govt take steps to help the boy\u2019s family and those injured in the tree fall. He said deputy CM Eknath Shinde is extending financial assistance of Rs 2.5 lakh to the child\u2019s family.Referring to a tree fall in Andheri\u2019s Marol, he demanded that a tree survey be conducted immediately to find a solution to such problems.Congress\u2019s Nana Patole also raised the issue and sought a statement from govt on it.
