On May 16, we had highlighted issues of poor garbage disposal, overgrown trees and pedestrian-unfriendly footpaths in this tourist hub. Residents complain that little has changed in the interim. Separate bins for dry and wet waste are still missing, and segregated garbage is piled into one dumpster in most areas.

Overgrown trees were supposed to be trimmed before the monsoon. But, residents say, the BMC is yet to get cracking.
