Tilak Nagar, Chembur, Mumbai - 400089. I came to this place in the year 1974. The current Tilak Nagar has changed a lot.Bldg No.53, Where I spent most of my life studying and working was the end of Tilak Nagar and all of a sudden the Government brought in slum dwellers evacuated from some other places. At that time our parents along with scores of Tilak Nagar citizens demonstrated that the slums should not be constructed at this place and today the situation has changed a lot. The new road Santacruz Chembur Link Road is an important arterial road connecting Western Express Highway (WEH) and Eastern Express Highway (EEH). Total length of Santacruz Chembur Link Road is 6.45 km starting from Dr. Hans Bhugra junction on WEH in Santacruz East and running to the East skirting Vidyanagari Campus (Mumbai University at Kalina) on its south and meeting Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Marg after crossing Meethi River Bridge. Thereafter it follows the existing S. G. Barve Marg to a length of about 150 meters and beyond a new road is proposed through slums and crosses the Mumbai Kalyan Central Railway (Main) line. Further passes close to Lokmanya Tilak Terminal and through Tilak Nagar MHADA colony, running parallel to Harbour Line up to Amar Mahal junction of Eastern Western Highway. You will be surprised the slums which came up in 1974 had become multi storey buildings and the Housing board buidings will be redeveloped to accomodate roads and now those boasting our own building will have to be rehabilitated some where else along the line of slum dwellers.
