The protests of Chandivli residents, who have been demanding the construction of a 90-foot-long road for years, have finally yielded results. After floating tenders for the long-awaited project, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has slapped encroachers with eviction notices.
A day after locals went on a hunger strike on Sunday, the roads department of the BMC invited tenders to construct Chandivli Farm Road. Simultaneously, officials of the L ward, which comprises Chandivli and Kurla, have taken moved to clear the land to make way for the road. The road that residents have been demanding was first conceptualised 30 years ago in the BMC’s development plan.
