In its September 19 report, mid-day had highlighted three key problem areas: encroachments, waterlogging and poor hygiene. Residents say these are yet to be addressed. Clean streets, especially in slum pockets, are nowhere in sight. While illegal hawkers choke roads in Goregaon, constant honking for most hours of the day drives residents up the wall. Locals also allege that BMC officials and corporators have ignored the deplorable condition of public toilets in the ward.
