Kandivali West residents, a majority from Poinsur Gaothan, adjacent to and behind the Poinsur or Poisar river are bracing for their monsoon nightmare, our front page report stated. The river is an 11.15 km long river originating in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and flowing into the Marve Creek.

Photographs accompanying the report showed the Poinsur river choked to the point of suffocation. The flow is blocked at several points. Waste has carpeted the water, primarily garbage bags and plastic. A nauseating stench envelops the area.
