In a case of illegal parking and problems caused by it, Army quarters in Colaba is battling illegal parking in the vicinity. A senior army man has alleged that his repeated complaints to the authorities over the problem has fallen on deaf ears. Lt Col Shonu Bhadoria said he has made several complaints to the civic body, the traffic police as well as the local police against a person running a garage in the area and parking tens of vehicles illegally on a narrow road, leading to traffic congestion, but no action has been taken.

Lt Col Shonu Bhadoria's complaint talks about the garage on Pasta lane in Colaba, operating in a residential area already having one-way traffic due to the narrow Cawasji Marg. The garage operations include repairs of accident vehicles, paint jobs and modification of imported cars. The owner has allegedly parked 15-odd vehicles of his customers on the narrow public road, which has been leading to traffic jams and inconveniencing residents and their visitors. At times, the garage owner even takes over residents' parking slots for his customers' vehicles by placing blockades and bikes. Bhadoria alleges and adds that, when requested to remove the blockades and bikes, he (garage owner) misbehaves and threatens residents using foul and abusive language.
