Borivali locals were taken aback by the swift action by the BMC. On Wednesday morning, while BMC employees were conducting a deep cleaning drive on internal roads at Vazira Naka, a visitor from the US, who was here on vacation and residing with her sister, brought to the notice of the BMC workers a broken lid of a sewage gutter. The broken lid was replaced on Thursday morning. The complainant, in her interaction with Madhav Gaikwad, supervisor, SWM department, R/C ward, pointed out that a broken lid had fallen into the sewage, which could block the flow of water and even lead to flooding and choking of the outlet.
