"While locking our area, the civic body has assured us that they will provide food and essential items, however, we are not getting anything from the BMC.
We are not allowed to go out of the containment zone to buy anything, only those with good political connections are getting the essential items, so we are forced to use our boats to go to nearby Mahim beach," said one of the residents.
Ajay Kshirsagar, a resident alleges, “After declaring our area as containment zone, BMC has marked areas where they will put up stalls for vegetable and essential items, however, there is no such stalls even after five days". 3.
