After mid-day highlighted the plight of frustrated Chandivli residents disgusted with piles of garbage that had piled up in their area, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) acted, initiating deep cleaning operations.

Residents express gratitude

Srividhya K, a resident, said, “We are grateful to mid-day for reporting on this issue. Today, we saw some action. An excavator was used to clear the waste — an indicator of how much had piled up. While the authorities were already aware of the situation, it seems that it took a media report to elicit a response from the BMC.”
