Mumbai: Chandivli locals to sit on hunger strike
Updated On: 18 August, 2023 07:06 AM IST | Mumbai | Prajakta Kasale
Residents say BMC continues to fail to deliver 90 Feet Road promised 30 years ago; civic officials say land handover from private builder and a central government corporation is pending
Chandivli residents protest on February 12
Chandivli residents’ silent protest in February had made a slight impact—AMC P Velrasu set a one-month deadline for tender to build the long-awaited 90 Feet Road. However, six months on, there is no progress, except hollow assurances of BMC officials, they said. “That leaves us with no option, but to register our protest with a hunger strike,” the residents added.
Local residents in the area have long been demanding the 90 Feet Road to decongest the area, which is dependent on two routes—Chandivli Farm Road and DP Road 9, which are also choked. In 2021, the BMC built only one-third of the 600-metre-long road, where two-wheelers, trucks and garbage dumpers are currently parked.
