Residents and motorists using SV Road near Bandra West and Khar Road West are have been complaining about long hours of water-logging in the area. They allege that the roads have been blocked because of unclean drains, which is subsequently leading to manholes overflowing.

Activist and local resident Zoru Bhathena has been posting pictures and videos of the flooding on social media. Speaking to mid-day, Bhathena said, "The other day, I observed that manholes on the road corners were overflowing. These drains are supposed to take out the rainwater from streets to sea. But they were adding more water in the already flooded streets. This is because the drains are all choked up. So the water is not reaching the main drains, which discharge it into the sea." He added, "Also, a big dewatering pump was stationed on that stretch to clear the water, however, it was not working." Another resident, Prakash Narang, who stays at the Roop Niketan Society in Bandra West, said, "There is nullah near our society which has been not cleaned for many years. Earlier, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation staff used to come and clean it, but now it's filled with mud."
