MUMBAI: Buildings along 11th Road, a prime residential area in Khar West, endured hours without electricity on Tuesday, a recurring issue attributed to the ongoing concretisation work.

Ironically, earlier that morning, Khar residents had gathered for a meeting with former corporator Alka Kerkar and officials from the BMC's H West ward office to discuss their road-related grievances.

"There was little clarity on what has been delaying the work," said Shalini Shome, a Khar resident who organised the meeting. Roadwork, including concretisation and other improvements, has been ongoing on 10th and 11th Roads since December, with long periods where the dug-up roads are left untouched.
