The Hind Sena Foundation, a Memonwada-based organisation, has claimed to be one of the complainants against the Bhendi Bazaar cluster redevelopment project saying many lanes are being encroached upon in the guise of redevelopment and the entrance to the Dhanbadi Masjid near Chor Bazaar is being blocked. The BMC has stalled the project citing residents’ complaints over changes in the plan and concerns over the quality of work. 

Arafat Siddique (Lakdawala), the Foundation’s general secretary, said, “For many months, I have been writing letters to the chief minister about the irregularities in the SBUT project and now the BMC has come across the same irregularities that were mentioned in my complaint letters and has issued a stop-work notice to them.”
