The Story in Brief
Frustrated by years of delay on the 90-Feet Road connecting Chandivli Farm Road to JVLR, the Chandivali Citizens Welfare Association (CCWA) has announced a 'Sadbuddhi Havan' as a symbolic protest. Despite a tender being floated three years ago, work has not started, the Times of India reports.
Residents have written letters, submitted petitions, held peaceful protests, and even sat on a hunger strike in 2023. After that, the BMC promised the tender had been issued and work would be done soon, but nothing has changed. CCWA founder Mandeep Singh Makkar said they are left with no choice but to appeal to God to grant good sense to the authorities.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that peaceful appeals are useless is unfair. Residents have exhausted every official channel: letters, petitions, hunger strikes, and meetings with politicians. Turning to a havan is a measure of desperation, not naivety. The real test is whether the BMC will now treat the 90-Feet road as a priority. Will the smoke from the havan reach the right desks?
