The authorities have finally heeded the voice of Worli residents living near the elevated connector that links their area to Sewri — and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) directing the contractor to construct a temporary footpath within a month.

“For the past three to four years, we have been living with this problem. There was no proper provision for pedestrians despite the construction continuing for such a long time,” said Rekha Paul, a resident.
