However, several concerns raised by residents about amenities and infrastructure still remain unresolved
During his inspection, Shelar spent around two hours engaging with the residents. Residents raised concerns about adequate water supply, prompting the minister to direct MHADA and BMC officials to install new water pipelines
Another major issue was the availability of parking, as one of the planned parking towers is still unfinished To address parking shortages, Shelar suggested temporarily demolishing two old buildings to create more space. Borikar said the additional space will be created by razing the old structures and parking be allotted through a transparent lottery system
