Back in 2016, the Western Railway authorities and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had conducted a survey for constructing a rail over-bridge (ROB) above the Khar subway, as the underpass has been in a dilapidated condition for quite some time. However, the plan is still far from being conceptualised. With the condition of the subway deteriorating with every passing day, resident associations have now taken to Twitter to air their grievances and have also put up banners outside society gates to draw the attention of the authorities concerned. Further, they have also threatened to move court if appropriate relief was not given.

Citizens and resident associations have claimed that the stretch of the Khar subway needs immediate infrastructural development and a structural audit too. The authorities concerned had said that widening and revamp of the subway was impractical, and hence had conducted a survey for an ROB in 2016. A rough design of the bridge was included in the Development Plan as well but the plan is yet to be implemented, said members of some associations.
