The BMC’s F-South ward has sought the opinion of the garden department on whether a notice could be issued to the society regarding the incident. It occurred when Nishad and Balkrishna were returning home to Nalasopara after completing a plumbing job at a BMC office in Cotton Green. Balkrishna, in pain and facing the prospect of surgery, remains unaware that Nishad is dead.“About 15 to 20 people helped us, and we were rushed to the hospital in a taxi,” said Balkrishna, who makes about Rs 15,000 a month and will likely have to return to his village in UP until he recovers.BMC superintendent gardens Jitendra Pardeshi did not respond to calls from TOI seeking a comment on the incident. A BMC’s F-South ward and garden department official said, “We have sought the opinion of the garden department as to what action can be pursued against the society.”
