Kurla West residents have claimed that leakage from a potable water pipeline beneath the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) has gone largely unaddressed for six months. Civic officials, however, said that they had repaired the pipeline and the problem lies with a stormwater drain.

Manohar Apte, a resident of Vinoba Bhave Nagar in Kurla, said, “For a while now, water tends to flow onto the road from the subway below the SCLR every morning and evening. The BMC [Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation] repaired the potable water pipeline once but the issue has not been resolved. This is a health hazard, and the BMC should act immediately.”
