Civic body missed its own May 31 deadline, blames road concreting delays and sets new July 26 target after Bombay HC pulls it up

The BMC committee, formed after 11-year-old Vihaan Srivastava died when a tree fell on a school bus in Chembur, has recommended tender clauses making contractors and civic departments responsible for protecting tree roots during infrastructure works. Nearly 1,200 trees fell across Mumbai in the first week of July alone.
