The office of a neta is literally in the way of a solution to a chronic flooding spot at Lal Bahadur Shastri Road in Kurla. While the BMC has declared the structure illegal, it has still failed to remove it, posing itself a problem, as the office covers two chambers connected to a stormwater drain, that must be cleared before the monsoon. If this is not done, this year too, thousands of office-goers, especially to BKC, and local residents will be affected.

The office belongs to former NCP MLA Milind Kamble, who claims it is ‘protected’. People are wondering whether the BMC will think about Mumbaikars or spare the Shiv Sena alliance partner member’s office.
