Even as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has emphasised maintaining cleanliness in Mumbai, a road at Lokhandwala in Andheri West seems to have fallen prey to garbage dumping. People residing in societies along the Jankidevi School Road have questioned the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over the lack of action on the continuing problem.

The Jankidevi School Road, located behind Sardar Vallabhai Patel Nagar, is an arterial road that connects to the Lokhandwala back road and is used by hundreds of motorists daily. During a visit to the road on Tuesday, mid-day noticed stinking piles of garbage accumulated on the road, which is also used by residents for walks in the morning and evening.
