In a survey conducted by the civic body for identifying chronic flooding spots on the roads in the area, the officials found out that out of Govandi and Mankhurd have the maximum number of bad patches (40). For residents of the area, bad roads are a part of their lives.
“The government and municipal authorities don’t pay attention to our problems even though we have all been complaining to the M-East ward office,” said Mahesh Ghanawat of Trader’s Association, an association of local shopkeepers.
Sheila Balakrishnan, a local resident, said, “When the rains set in, bad roads, accumulated waste and floods make living here a nightmare. The rain water mixes with industrial waste and we have to wade through the hazardous filth every day.” It is a bumpy ride on the other side of the tracks, too.
