While beautification work worth Rs 1,700 crore is taking place across the city, children residing near Deonar dumping ground don’t have a place to play. Residents of Kamala Raman Nagar have proposed that civic authorities create an area for kids to play under a flyover.

Mohammad Tahir, a local, said, “As our children lack a specific space to play, they venture out on the road that heavy vehicles use to get to the dumping ground. The empty area under the flyover can be used as a play area.”
