For over four months, people travelling via the Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road below the Metro rail corridor near Asalpha, have been forced to walk through dirty water overflowing from the sewage chambers and the storm water drains. While local residents allege that the reason for the overflowing water is the improper connection of the sewage pipe from the Metro corridor to the main sewage line below, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL) authorities claim that the drains are overflowing because they are choked with waste thrown by people.
