Residents of Khar East and West, nestled between the Santacruz and Khar stations, are vehemently opposing the proposed construction of an elevated road over the existing Khar subway by the BMC.
While acknowledging the necessity of an alternate eastwest connection, locals argue that the current blueprint will exacerbate traffic congestion and jeopardise wellplanned neighbourhoods adorned with ancient, resilient rain trees.
On April 14, the Khar Residents Association, alongside representatives from key local forums, held a meeting at the Khar Library. Attended by 50 core members, including activists, professionals, and concerned citizens, the consensus was resolute.
The collective voice of the community demanded the scrapping of the current tender due to fundamental design flaws. In its place, they urged the BMC to explore alternative solutions that prioritise improved connectivity between the East and West.
