The new committee will furnish its report within a month. Meanwhile, reacting to this announcement, Vihaan’s father, Gaurav Srivastava said that the family will continue to seek legal opinion to decide on their next steps. The Mayor stated that the earlier report failed to adequately examine the gravity of the incident and lacked recommendations for stringent action and accountability. The earlier committee constituted to conduct an inquiry had stated that the BMC’s own roads department and garden and tree department were not at all at fault for the incident. It has additionally been tasked with suggesting policy reforms to strengthen the city’s tree management system and prevent similar incidents in the future.
