The closure of a road in one of the bylanes of Borivli saw a tense back and forth between municipal authorities and MNS leaders, a report in this paper stated. After a stand-off, municipal authorities eased restrictions in one part so that one person could pass at a time.

While this is one case, a similar scenario is playing out at various areas of the city, where citizens are taking on municipal honchos over certain closures, claiming that access has been cut off.
