Tired of being ignored for months, 400 locals held protest march on Sunday
Residents meet Addl Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu on Friday
The BMC has agreed to heed Chandivli residents, who have been demanding that a road be constructed to decongest traffic in their area for months. In a meeting with locals on Friday, Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu instructed the departments concerned to start taking action. Despite registering numerous requests, BMC officials were in no mood to hear the pleas of residents, but after a protest was held on Sunday, the latter have some hope that a solution will be arrived at sooner or later.
Once known for small industries, Chandivli developed into a residential area with many high-rises over the past two decades. But connecting roads there remained narrow and can`t accommodate heavy traffic. There are two congested routes: Chandivli Farm Road and DP Road 9. On both roads, a vehicle is as good as frozen if a BEST bus happens to be ahead of it. DP Road 9, which is the only route connecting the area to the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, has innumerable paver block patches.
