Monsoon has arrived and the fear of diseases is compounded this season. Take into account too, the mosquito menace that doubles and triples in these months

Residents of three buildings in Navagaon area of Dahisar West are troubled. This is because of the open sewage drain of a neighbouring residential building seeping into their compounds through the fencing wall. Residents have alleged that several requests to the BMC for the past eight months have gone unheeded. A report in this paper cited the problems for locals thanks to the drainage.
Residents of three buildings said the septic tank behind a building has been overflowing with water entering into neighbouring buildings' premises before heading into the Mithi River. The problem, locals said, has been existing for years now since Shreeji Apartment is unable to connect its sewage drainage with that of the civic body's due to its location. Dumping of construction debris into the open drain has compounded matters.
