C/24, MHADA Gate No. 8, Malvani Malad West, stated that renovation work has been underway at his residence for the past month. During this period, he and his family have been temporarily staying in another room (D/01, K.G.N. guest house) within the same society premises.
Sharma alleged that the common electric wiring installed by MHADA in the open space behind the rooms was obstructing renovation work in his kitchen.
