Stepping in to calm the anxiety among hundreds of residents of Elphinstone after closure of the century-old Elphinstone Bridge on September 12, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said over a call with MLA Kalidas Kholambkar that a meeting would be scheduled within a week’s time to come up with a solution for the rehabilitation of the residents of all 19 buildings.
A week later, however, no such meeting has taken place, leaving residents again grappling with uncertainty about their future.
