Residents of Mulund East are planning to approach the BMC as the railway station elevator pit that has been dug on the station road has turned into a garbage dump full of stagnant water and filth. Residents fear the spread of waterborne diseases as the monsoon approaches.

“The elevator structure was erected about six to seven months ago and there has been no development since. It has also narrowed down the road at the curve and there is nothing coming up. The structure has a pit which is now full of garbage and could be a potential risk in the monsoon. The authorities need to either fix it or remove it,” local resident Dr Mahesh Gawade said.
