Old-timers rue Tilak Ngr’s ‘ugly’ transformation

Mention Tilak Nagar in Chembur and two diverse images cross the mind. A picture perfect LIG Colony of 112 ground-plus two-storey buildings built in mundane repetition by Mhada in 1965, tree-lined 60-ft-wide concrete roads, ample open space, two playgrounds, a cinema hall et al. Second, as an epicentre of the gangland led by the notorious Rajan Nair and his lieutenant Chhota Rajan, a reason good enough to be avoided by home-buyers and investors.
