Bhoiwada traffic police say that the existing footpath is being encroached upon by hawkers and illegally parked vehicles, making pedestrians use the road; they want civic body to expand the existing road to ease traffic congestion

It looks like citizens are not the only ones who are complaining about the city’s footpaths. The Bhoiwada traffic police have written to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) requesting them that the footpath on Bhatankar Marg in Parel be reduced in width to expand the existing road going towards Dadar.

Several two-wheelers and four-wheelers are always seen parked on the footpath, along with hawkers selling vegetables and fruits, causing pedestrian traffic to spill over onto the street. Pics/Pradeep Dhivar
