Residents along Pali Naka road numbers 16th to 30th in Bandra West face distress due to the rampant illegal dumping on open plots, particularly Pereira Wadi, leading to an array of issues. Shop owners claim they have lost business as their surroundings become infested with rodents and drug-related activities.

Social activist and local resident Sunil Khosla highlighted the situation, recalling around 105 slums that once occupied this plot. Initially slated for redevelopment, the plot was left unattended for the past eight years after legal complications arose with the involved builder. The absence of supervision allowed the premises' fence to deteriorate, inviting locals to use it as a dumping ground for waste and debris.
