For a year, despite an approval, the civic body neither repaired the road nor widened the drain on 14th Road in Bandra West, leaving mostly elderly occupants of old buildings to deal with waterlogged once again. Residents claimed that silt from a nearby construction site clogs the drain, bringing dirty water inside the premises on the ground floor.
Rosy D`Monte, a resident of Church View located on 14th Road in Bandra West, said, “Since the past year, we are facing waterlogging problems on the road as well as in our society premises. We have complained to the BMC time and again, yet there has been no permanent solution.
