Senior citizens of Rustom Baug in Byculla have joined hands with Balaji and Masina Hospitals, to declare a war against the garbage in their locality. They have recently written to the Chief Minister about an open garbage bin in the area, since the BMC has turned a blind eye to this stinking menace that has been a resident of the locality for decades.

Zarine Bahamani, a Rustom Baug resident, points to the open garbage bin. She has been writing to the BMC for its removal for over a year now. Pic/Suresh KK
