The literal &lsquo;rough patch&rsquo; continues for Mumbaikars as well as BMC this monsoon, as residents of a housing society in Andheri (West) have come up with complaints of inconvenience caused by dug-up roads.

Ever since an ambulance struggled to reach a housing society inside Sagar City Complex on Wednesday, residents have been plagued by worries of a greater peril. While BMC claims the digging activity is crucial to repair a drainage pipeline, over 4,500 residents are getting affected due to it.
No escape Andalib Sultanpuri, a Pacific Society resident, said, &ldquo;On Wednesday, a dead body had to be shouldered till the house because the ambulance carrying it couldn&rsquo;t enter the Complex &mdash; the very entrance to Sagar City has been dug up. Instead of 5 minutes, traversing this stretch is taking up 30 minutes every day.&rdquo;
Another resident, Tanaz Patrawala of Indian Ocean Society, informed, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a road behind the Complex, but it&rsquo;s too narrow for a vehicle to pass through.&rdquo;
Sagar City Welfare Association vice-president, Riyaz Elias said they have already reached out to BMC, but haven&rsquo;t received any response yet.
&ldquo;The situation is particularly grave because in case of an untoward incident (which is possible during monsoon), no rescue effort will be able to reach us.&rdquo;
