Amidst the raging third wave in the city, 92 occupants of a Kalina housing society have had their electricity and water connection snapped on Tuesday. The BMC disconnected the utilities after declaring the society dilapidated last year. The residents said they should be given more time to vacate the flats many among them are senior citizens with health issues.

The society is Neel Shantiniketan CHS located opposite Kalina University, Santacruz East. Built in 1968, it has three wings, 81 flats, and 11 shops on the ground floor. The shopkeepers said they didn't receive any notice and the disconnection of power and water has caused them huge losses. The residents said the BMC had brought in cops to force them to cooperate.
