After much discussion over the frequent closure of the Andheri Subway due to waterlogging, a local MLA proposed building a holding tank near the spot. In a letter to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Amit Satam stated that a holding tank is a better solution than previous cost-extensive plans and asked the civic body to increase the drainage system's capacity. In his letter, he mentioned that he had visited the ward on August 8 and met with ward and SWD officers to study flooding at Andheri Subway. 

In his letter to BMC dated August 12, Satam demanded that a tank or holding pond be built on the eastern side of Andheri Subway--either below the road or at an open space--akin to one built near Milan Subway.
