The police are taking five-star hotels to task over illegal parking, a report in this paper has said. The extensive story, detailing yet another aspect to Mumbai's bugbear, the parking crunch, has stated that Mumbai cops have issued a stern verbal warning to five-star hotels which have been illegally parking guests' cars on the roads and contributing to traffic snarls.

Concentrating on the choked South Mumbai, cops stated that a number of hotels located in the tourist-heavy Colaba and Marine Drive area are on their radar. While tourist traffic is practically non-existent now, guests are coming into these hotels sporadically and the problem persists.
