Re: 45 people killed in Mumbai - ketchim - 04-05-2013 The building collapse underlines the issue of illegal construction in India. Police say the builder of the high rise used sub-standard construction material and did not possess an occupation certificate. There are hundreds of similar  illegal high-rises in the Mumbai region. Due to a high population growth, there is always demand for cheap housing And homes in illegal buildings sell at a lower price compared to those in legal ones. Activists also allege that unscrupulous builders often pay hefty bribes to authorities who turn a blind eye to these illegal structures and do not take any action against the builders.
