It seems that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is not keeping tabs on ground realities. This time, it’s the Gilder Tank ground at Grant Road (East) and the kids in the area that have been hit hard by the civic body’s apathy.

According to the residents, the ground – that is meant for sports – has gotten spoilt after the municipal corporation leased it to a private organisation for Ganesh Chaturthi over five months ago.
