After landslides, road cave-ins and a bridge collapse, here's further evidence that the city seems to be falling apart at the seams — a boundary wall of a nullah in Bandra East has caved in. And while this poses a serious threat to passers-by as well as residents, authorities seem chilled out. The Kalanagar nullah comes under the Public Works Department (PWD), which, last year, handed over the highway to the MMRDA. Hence, everything along it, including the nullah, is supposed to be maintained by the Authority.

A closed drain, the PWD had opened up the nullah last year for repairs and desilting; whether or not the work is finished is anybody's guess, and the nullah has been left open. And despite numerous complaints by citizens, about mosquitoes and the threat of diseases, nothing has been done about it. Civic officials, too, said they have been receiving complaints and would forward them to the PWD and MMRDA to take immediate corrective measures.
