Hrithik Roshan React To Mulund Metro Pillar Collapse

He continued, “I commend the swift action taken by the authorities to ensure accountability, but the need for safety checks and prevention of such accidents is a priority, especially with all the development work going on across Mumbai, on the busiest of streets. Safety of the construction workers and common people is of paramount importance, and I hope strict measures are taken to ensure guidelines and protocols are in place to avoid such incidents in the future”

Writer-comedian Varun Grover too voiced strong criticism in his social media post, linking the incident to broader concerns about governance and urban planning. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Mumbai is the MOST corrupt city in India probably by a huge margin. The commercial capital of India has the worst roads (have seen village roads in almost every Indian state in the last 2 years and they are better), atrocious urban planning, & complete disregard for human life.”
