Juhu residents say the Army did not bother when the buildings were coming up, but started objecting when redevelopments started

Juhu residents who are affected by the Army signalling station gather to protest on Sunday
Juhu resident Gaurang Bajaj, who used to live in Tara Apartments, moved out of his home in 2011 as the building went for redevelopment. Eleven years on, he still waits to return to the area as the building works stopped after a few months as the land falls in the restricted defence area. This is the case for many such buildings in the area due to the presence of the Army signalling station. The residents on Sunday called a meeting to look for a solution to this decade-old problem.
“This is just not the case with my building. Many buildings in my locality suffer due to this restriction. The work of our building, which used to house 18 families, stopped as the land fell in the so-called buffer zone of the Army signalling station. All of us have moved to different places now and are waiting to come home,” Bajaj said.
