Setting August 15 as the deadline for local MLA Mangesh Kudalkar to address the Kurla dairy plot issue, slated for inclusion in the Dharavi redevelopment scheme, residents have formed a citizen movement called Lok Chalwal. They warned authorities not to test their patience and threatened to flood the streets in protest against what they call an “unjust decision.”

They also urged the MLA to join their protest if the government fails to act. With Maharashtra’s legislative assembly elections approaching, this issue could potentially become a significant local election matter.
