A campaign started by Khar residents over social media and through banners put up at society gates, to raise the issue of the dilapidated condition of the subway in the area, has yielded the desired results. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to conduct a study yet again to finalise the designs for a rail over-bridge (ROB) above the subway.

According to civic sources, Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu has asked the bridges department to look into the concerns of the locals and come up with a solution at the earliest. Residents started the campaign as multiple complaints and representations made by them to the state government, central government, elected representatives and competent authorities over the past 40 years, had fallen on deaf ears. The locals had even claimed that they would approach the high court if relief was not given at the earliest.
