Residents who reside around the Santacruz East area, over the last two weeks, have noticed several issues with the Western Express Highway’s underground pedestrian subway at Vakola Signal, including flickering lights, broken tiles, and uncollected discarded waste items. The locals allege that proactive waste collection has not been taking place, and for the last few days, garbage has been collected and the area cleaned only after calls from residents requesting ward employees directly.
