Overview
- About 50 residents near the former Elphinstone Road bridge in Parel gathered Thursday evening alleging continuous vibrations from Sewri–Worli Elevated Corridor works.
- Locals reported repeated shaking inside homes and falling plaster, saying decades-old chawls and tenements feel increasingly vulnerable.
- MMRDA has demolished the approach ramps and is clearing debris, and MRIDC will next deploy heavy cranes to dismantle the span above the tracks, with piling for new pillars yet to begin.
- Residents say officials promised a temporary pause, reduced intensity and checks by VJTI experts, and some residents claimed the machinery in use is outdated.
- A revised design reportedly reduces planned demolitions from 19 buildings to two, and residents plan to meet MMRDA on Friday as the commissioner did not respond to media queries.
