Kia Park Apartments is one of the 13 residential towers in Prathmesh Complex on Veera Desai Road
On the one hand, the BMC is ready to spend thousands of crores to keep Mumbai’s drains and rivers free of sewage and on the other, it refuses to believe the residents of Kia Park Apartments are living alongside a nullah bringing filth from nearby slums and towers. Countless letters sent to the ward office over the past seven years have been ignored, complained residents. KIA Park is one of the 13 residential towers in Prathmesh Complex on Veera Desai Road.
In multiple letters to the K West ward office, residents have pointed out how many residential and office buildings don’t have a sewer connection. While some are dependent on septic tanks, a few have been releasing their sewage into open drains because the BMC did not take action against them, residents complained.
