While a few polling stations in Kurla experienced crowding and residents of redeveloping buildings complained about not receiving election slips, the voting process was otherwise smooth. Activists from the Kurla Dairy area also gathered to cast their votes in support of greenery. 

“This time, the polling booths were spread out, with some even set up on the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar playground. However, the classrooms and narrow corridors at the SKP Walawalkar School were still jam-packed, with long queues moving very slowly. The wait time was lengthy,” said resident Farida Alam.
