Mahim Residents Protest Marathon Road Closures
People living in Mahim, a part of Mumbai, are very upset because big running events called marathons keep closing the roads where they live.
This happens every year and makes their daily life very hard.
They can't get deliveries like food or medicine, and even can't go home easily if they come back late at night.
Some people had to walk a long way just to get their groceries.
The residents want the marathons to happen in other places where they won't bother the local people so much.
They are asking their local leaders to help stop these road closures in their neighborhood.
Residents of Mahim, especially along Cadell Road, are frustrated by annual marathon road closures.
Road closures disrupt daily life, restrict emergency access, and cause delivery issues.
Residents had to walk long distances to collect deliveries due to marathon restrictions.
Night commuters faced difficulties returning home due to road closures.
The Mahim Residents Group proposed alternate venues for marathons to avoid residential disruptions.
