Mumbai: Residents of two housing societies in Oshiwara have written to BMC chief Sitaram Kunte and other civic officials on Saturday, questioning the approval for construction of a private institution on a plot, one-third of which is reportedly reserved for a municipal school and the rest for a playground, which was being leased to the school.
The residents said despite Mhada issuing a notice, the construction has not been stopped.
TOI on July 23 had reported about a protest by the Oshiwara Lokhandwala Citizens' Association (OLCA) against the private institute. A copy of the plot's previous layout showing the municipal school is with TOI.
The residents argued that while the municipal school was to be two storey, the private school is seven-storey high. "The access road is not wide enough for a small car, imagine the chaos if school buses start entering," said the residents.
Residents said if the building comes up, even emergency services vehicles would not be able reach their societies. They also pointed out discrepancies in the deal allowing the private institution's construction.
