Govandi residents raise complaints with BMC for non-commencement of pre-monsoon desilting work

As the monsoon nears, Mumbai’s Govandi residents have raised their concerns around the lack of pre-monsoon desilting work in major and minor nullahs across M (East), M (West), and L wards. 

Lawyer Abdi Abas Sayyed, a Govandi resident, highlighted the non-commencement of pre-monsoon desilting work and submitted that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has not started desilting work in wards 134, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140 and 141, including densely populated areas of Govandi, Deonar and Shivaji Nagar, despite the imminent arrival of the monsoon season.
