Nazir Shaikh, the ratepayers’ association chairman of the north cluster, said he had received numerous complaints from residents who are horrified with these developments.

The residents are raising numerous issues, asking:
1. Was there proper consultation with local residents?
2. Were there public meetings to discuss these issues?
3. Was the public allowed to submit objections?
