Mumbai: Although the residents of south Mumbai are up in arms against the design of the coastal road, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) asserts that it is too late to change the design.
“It is impossible to change any design for the coastal road at this time as not only work orders have been given but a slight change in design also mig-ht cost crores of rupees,” said a senior BMC officer for the coastal road requesting anonymity.
The officer said, “The design plan has been published since July 2015 and explained to residents whenever asked. All doubts have been resolved and residents are protesting now realising the scenic beauty of their houses will be affected.”
