History

The road has been named in honour of the socialist trade union leader Placid D’Mello. D'Mello, who hailed from the Belman Parish in the erstwhile South Canara District , was a trade union leader who organised workers in Bombay. He was the founder of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Mazdoor Union (MMU),[6] BEST Workers Union, Taximen's Union, Transport and Dock Workers Union as well as the All India Port and Dock Workers Federation. D'Mello was also a mentor of George Fernandes.[7]

On 23 January 2006, The Times of India reported that the State Government had decided to concretise, widen and remove slums from P D'Mello Road, as part of ongoing road improvements in Mumbai.[8]

The BMC began clearing slums in May 2007.[1] The road was widened and the footpath was made narrower in an effort to keep the shanties from being rebuilt. The total cost for the widening was estimated to be 51 crore (US$6.4 million).[9]
