Activism against Mumbai’s controversial development plan has won, and how. Mumbaikars have not only made all political parties toe the line, but also compelled the Devendra Fadnavis government to scrap the DP. The people deserve hearty congratulations for achieving this feat.

But we think the victory is incomplete at this point in time. It is time to hold to account those who created this mess in the first place and caused such distress to the city’s cross-section. Since the state government bound by laws which prevent it from encroaching on the corporation’s sovereignty has put the ball in the BMC’s court, it’s now the responsibility of the same set of activists and experts which foiled the DP, to push erring politicians and bureaucrats in the BMC to the wall.
