Dr. R. P. Road, Mulund (West) — Live Ground Report
Friends, do you
remember? On April 16, 2026, we did a Facebook Live right here from Dr.
R. P. Road to shake the 'T' Ward administration out of its deep slumber.
Following that, on April 17, BMC workers finally showed up and reluctantly
cleared the overflowing sewerage chamber. We thought the problem was solved...
but turns out, it was just a temporary band-aid.
Today is June
7, 2026. In the last two months alone, we have had to call the BMC a
staggering 8 times for this exact same overflowing sewage.
Look at this
structure behind me—'Priiva' (formerly known as Janki Niketan). The
development agreement was signed way back in 2005, and after 21 long years, the
construction was finally completed in 2026. But the quality of the builder's
work is so abysmal that the sewage from this brand-new building is constantly
erupting onto the main road, becoming a massive headache for hundreds of
neighboring residents.
A midnight
scramble by BMC, but what about the root cause?
Last night, on June
6 at 10 PM, I personally called the T-Ward Disaster Management helpline to
report this ongoing nightmare. To my utter surprise, at 1:00 AM past
midnight (June 7), I received a call from the Ghatkopar BMC office saying, "We
are on our way with our vehicle." By 1:30 AM, the civic workers
had reached the spot and begun clearing the muck.
I sincerely
thank those ground-level workers who showed up in the dead of night to do their
duty honestly. But our question is to the senior bureaucrats—are we supposed
to stay awake until 1 AM every third night just to keep calling the BMC?
Monsoon is
knocking on our doors... and a major health epidemic looms!
This stretch is
a vital artery for Mulund. Barring a brief two-hour lull between 2 AM and 4 AM,
lakhs of citizens use this road daily to reach Mulund West railway station.
Furthermore, this is the very spot for the first and last stops of the 396 bus
route running between Andheri and Jogeshwari. Right now, thousands of commuters
are forced to step directly into this filth.
The monsoon
rains could hit Mumbai any day now. If the road waterlogs as usual, this raw
sewage will mix with the rainwater and flood the entire area. Just imagine the
horrific stench, the swarm of mosquitoes, and the inevitable explosion of
Malaria and Dengue cases! Why is this builder being let off the hook while
citizens' health is put on the line?
Our direct
demands to the BMC:
- Deploy Experts Immediately: The BMC
must send its expert engineers today itself to inspect the line and
implement a permanent engineering solution.
- Penalize the Builder: A strict
inquiry must be launched into the substandard work done by the developer
of the 'Priiva' building, and heavy legal penalties must be imposed.
Is the civic
administration just going to shuffle paperwork, or will they give us Mulundkars
permanent relief from this hellhole before the monsoon fully sets in?
Over to you,
Readers:
What do you
think about this administrative apathy? Let us know in the comments, and share
this video/post as much as possible to ensure it reaches the highest
authorities!
A final
thought:
Today, we supposedly have a "Triple-Engine Government" in power—at
the Center, in the State, and heading the Municipal Corporation. If the same
political alignment is everywhere, why are the taxpayers still suffering like
this? Or have they all just come to power to continue the same old corruption?
