These residents paid crores for swanky flats in the posh Juhu Vile Parle Development Scheme, but most of the time they have to lock themselves inside their homes, as the surroundings stink because of a choked nullah. They have stopped sending their children outside to play because the clogged drain is home to swarms of mosquitoes.
Flats in Azad Nagar CHS, with blocks across 28 plots, sell for up to R10 crore each as it is located in one of the posh areas of Mumbai, the Juhu Vile Parle Development Scheme. But a nullah, which gets clogged post-monsoon every year, has made the society a “living hell”, said residents.
