Mumbai's B and C Wards Focus on Waste and Redevelopment
The B and C wards in Mumbai are some of the oldest and most congested areas in the city.
They have narrow lanes, old buildings, and are home to the city's oldest clothes and jewellery markets.
The main problems here are waste management, water supply, and the redevelopment of old, dilapidated buildings.
Since waste collection vans can't enter the narrow lanes, people often throw garbage in the streets.
Many old buildings are in bad condition and pose a risk during the monsoon.
The upcoming civic elections will focus on fixing these issues, including decongesting traffic and removing encroachments.
Local representatives also want to revamp the old markets and build a new shopping plaza.
They believe solving these problems requires a big plan from the top.
