While residents of Aarey Milk Colony may live next to a forest, those of Royal Palms, an upscale neighbourhood, have been gasping for breath due to massive amounts of dust in the area. The main road in the colony is being concretised by the BMC.

The contractor appointed by the civic body is carrying out the work in patches to prevent traffic jams and the vehicles have been diverted via internal roads. The BMC is making sure that these internal stretches are in a good shape and mid-day has reported on their repairs. However, the road to Mayur Nagar and Royal Palms from Aarey Market junction is in a pitiable state and commuters are being made to inhale dust from the uneven road surface.
