Residents of Vikhroli have alleged that ongoing construction projects by local developers are worsening waterlogging in the area by blocking stormwater drain outlets and failing to maintain proper drainage around their sites.

“The construction debris, temporary barricades and poorly managed site entrances have obstructed the free flow of rainwater, resulting in flooded roads and water entering residential premises after every spell of heavy rain,” said Sanjay Jaiswal, a resident.
