Residents of Khandwala Compound Road in Vakola have been waging a two-year battle with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over poor civic upkeep — from waterlogged, uneven kutcha roads during the monsoon to uncollected garbage piles that now line their street.

Residents of these housing societies have filed multiple complaints with the civic body over uncollected garbage piled up on the road at the entrance of their buildings over the past two weeks. Between August 18 and August 29, 2025, they lodged four separate complaints with the BMC, but none have been resolved so far.
