Navi Mumbai residents in Belapur Sector 30-31 have questioned the municipal corporation's (NMMC) gravel-laying work in a natural drain, seeking clarification and an inspection. The NMMC Belapur Sector 30-31 Residents Association raised the issue on September 11, requesting details about the work and the agency conducting it.

They have also expressed concerns about the effect of the gravel-laying on the drain's ability to handle stormwater efficiently. Natural drains play a crucial role in ensuring rainwater flows smoothly, and any disruption could be detrimental.
The residents have urged the administration to conduct an on-site inspection to ascertain the purpose of the work and clarify its potential impact on the drainage system. They believe this assessment would help address their concerns and ensure the proper functioning of the area's drainage infrastructure.
