The petition comes in the wake of a resident of Royal Palms, Binod Agarwal, in the area in suburban Goregaon approaching the HC seeking that the internal roads be handed over to the BMC for maintenance.
Bandra residents are up in arms over ready mix concrete (RMC) plants in a purely residential area. The Bandra Reclamation Area Volunteers' Organisation (BRAVO) have shot off a strongly-worded letter to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) objecting to these plants which have been erected in the yard bang opposite the MSRDC's office.
The HC was hearing a PIL by an NGO and an environmental activist alleging that MNP; declared as a protected forest in 1991, may be unlawfully included in the Dharavi redevelopment project.
Environmentalists, meanwhile, have raised objections and demanded that the civic body stop encroaching and destroying the coast under the garb of developing a road.
