Internet’s reaction: “Vasai used to be an area of full mangroves which protected the area from flood waters. These authorities removed the mangroves and builders built towers on the land. Poor people have to suffer now while the builders and govt who created this disaster are enjoying at some foreign place,” a user said. “Extremely dangerous , very sad state of people, there is no govt support, political party support, local mla support, all people are helping each other...very difficult situation for working class,” added another person.
