Sick and tired of littered roads and stinking neighbourhood, affluent Oshiwara residents ask BMC to come up with a permanent fix to problem ASAP

Trash dumped on the road near Om Heera Panna Mall in Oshiwara
Affluent residents of Oshiwara neighbourhood have appealed to the BMC to find a permanent solution to the garbage menace in the locality. Trash dumped on roads attracts crows and stray dogs, stinks and poses a health hazard, they pointed out, stating that the problem has persisted for years, despite multiple complaints.
Residents associated with Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens Association (LOCA) said the garbage is dumped near Om Heera Panna Mall, and the area has a school and a slum, apart from upscale residential buildings. LOCA has been raising the issue through social media, but in vain. Now, they want a permanent solution and have even suggested a few. Even though the BMC takes away the garbage on a regular basis, waste gets accumulated within no time given the population of the area, residents pointed out.
