Locals at Khar Gaothan, also known as Old Khar, are unhappy about the state of a street, 35th Road, that they claim is always riddled with potholes despite various crater-filling exercises by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). They have demanded that the road be repaired permanently.

Prasad Rege, an Old Khar resident, said, “The BMC converted 7th Road, which connects PD Hinduja Road to 35th Road, into a cement concrete one a few years ago. But it did not repair 35th Road which goes through Khar Goathan. They just fill potholes, which are formed again a few days later.
