The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) removed encroachment and illegal parking on the Jawahar Road connector in Ghatkopar East a couple of months ago. Now residents of Ghatkopar are demanding that the civic body works on the entire stretch of the connector up to the Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road (AGLR).
mid-day reported on the issue of illegal parking and hawkers' encroachment on the Jawahar Road connector on December 23, 2022. Following the report, the BMC removed illegal parking and hawkers along a 300-metre stretch of road that was constructed in 2021 as a part of the connector Jawahar Road to AGLR.
