Chandivli’s children and residents who arrrive on wheels have struggled to access the playground due to the trash piling up outside
Even as the BMC has floated a tender worth Rs 3.5 crore to redevelop a playground in Andheri’s Chandivli, the area’s residents are yet to see the gate to the ground be cleaned, despite recurrent complaints. The residents’ anger stems from the corporation’s intent to spend lavishly on the ground while their children cannot access it easily, owing to the overfilled dust bins and garbage spilled around them.
On December 8, the corporation floated the tender for the redevelopment of the Maa Saheb Meenatai Thackeray Manoranjan Maidan at Chandivli’s MHADA Colony; per the tender, the redevelopment will be carried out within six months. The Chandivli residents have been making complaints to the corporation for the last six months. When the BMC undertook a city-wide cleanliness drive on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti this year, they protested by sweeping and cleaning the gate and surrounding area themselves.
