After mid-day highlighted the persistent noise and civic issues troubling residents in Malad, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has initiated concrete action to resolve the long-pending problem. Following the report, Assistant Engineer Vikrant Maniar has directed his junior officers to conduct an immediate survey to identify all manhole lids in the area that are causing excessive noise and inconvenience to residents.

The rattling and loose manhole lids have been a major concern for locals, especially during peak traffic hours and at night, when the constant clanging disturbs sleep and poses a safety risk to motorists. Acting on the complaints and the media report, Maniar has instructed officials to list all problematic lids and assess their condition to ensure timely corrective measures.
