Sewage has been seeping into a space for corporate offices in Chembur for over a month, becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Despite efforts from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and those working on the premises, the situation has not improved due to an underlying issue stemming from Metro work in the area.

The mosquito menace is unbearable, and if the authorities are unable to find a permanent solution soon, many are bound to fall sick as the rainfall is not continuous, and water gets stagnated every time the rain stops, an office employee has stated in an extensive report in this paper.

The drain is filled with so much debris and sludge, even after removing large quantities of waste, the water stays put. The BMC did say that the drain opening has been filled with debris from the Metro construction. So, with the help of the contractor’s people, cleaning has been done. Yet people insist these are sporadic efforts.
