Things are cooking at a western suburb with at least 10 housing societies in Khar West trying to stop Mangal Mahesh Co-operative Housing Society Limited (CHSL) from installing a mobile tower with its antenna on the ground plus six building.

In a bid to pre-empt the move, the locals have sent a legal notice dated December 27, 2018, to Mangal Mahesh, BMC H West Department and the mobile operator. Dilip Kejriwal, resident of Mangal Mahesh, acknowledged receiving it. However, this is not the first instance where residents are opposing such a move, because in 2017, at least 12 residential societies in the area had fought a legal battle to have 14 illegal mobile antennas removed from the terrace of the building.
