Drawing attention to the incessant encroachments inside the mangrove area behind Yari Road, Vijay Ullal another resident said that despite bringing it to notice of concerned authorities, encroachment activities have continue unabated. "Apart from the mangrove issue, we also want several civic issues resolved like getting the 120 feet DP road, removal of garages blocking the walking path and roads as well as getting good roads and footpaths,"said Ullal sharing that during the protest meet many issues like these will be detailed out and opinions of residents will be taken into account and an overall strategy will be formulated for getting these resolved.
The citizens are upset over being ignored time and again, said Ranjan. "During this meeting we will also put forth a plan to ensure that there is 100 per cent voting from our area along with that as a group we will discuss on what basis and factors should we choose to vote for candidates," said Ranjan adding that residents of Lokhandwala have extended their support and have assured to join the meeting.
