Uncontrolled redvpt, rising construction dust & poor connectivity are choking the ward; river remained polluted for yrs

Encroached roads and footpaths, and illegal constructions define the R-North Ward in Dahisar. More alarming, however, is the failure to protect and utilise its natural assets.

The Dahisar River has remained polluted for years, with the much-publicised revival project yet to deliver visible results. At the same time, uncontrolled redevelopment, rising construction dust, and poor internal connectivity are steadily choking the ward, exposing a widening gap between rapid urban growth and civic accountability.
