Over a week ago, Colaba residents from a number of buildings near Sassoon Docks, sent a letter to the Mumbai Port Trust, (MbPT) on the Colaba Area Locality Management (CALM) letterhead asking them to address their concerns about the area.

Their two-page letter with at least four sheets of signatories, a copy of which is with this newspaper, cites a number of problems that they say have been plaguing them for more than 10 years. "This is our umpteenth letter to the Port Trust, owner of the land. We have not yet had any response," said local Renu Kapoor.
