Nearly a 100 residents, including senior citizens from the Juhu Wireless Affected Residents’ Association (JWARA), participated in a peaceful march on Sunday demanding the government intervene and allow the redevelopment of their buildings, which has been halted due to defence regulations.

The locals have alleged that a pre-World War II Army station stands in the way of redevelopment projects in Juhu. Many who took part in the march expressed anger that no public representatives had joined it in support. Some residents even said that if no one came forward to help them, they might boycott the upcoming elections. The locals had earlier protested in December 2022.
