After the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided to widen a clogged nullah at Pandurang Wadi in Goregaon (east), the residents are far from being relieved. They, instead, are now complaining about the inconvenience caused by the repair work. The sewer near Saint Thomas High School that runs below the railway line and has not been cleaned for years, is being widened by the BMC since April 15. The work required that MD Deshmukh Road in Pandurang Wadi be dug up, reducing a 30-feet road to half. As a result, the traffic plying on the road has been inconvenienced since the two-way road is functioning with half the space. “This work troubles us, especially during peak hours in the morning and evening, as rickshaws and cars get jammed on the road,” said Rajeev Sawant, a Goregaon resident. The work to widen the nullah will continue till May 31.
