The forest department has taken note of excessive speeding on the concretised section of the Aarey Milk Colony main road, which was highlighted by mid-day on June 2, and will ask the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to have speed-breakers installed on this stretch as soon as possible.

Dr V Clement Ben, additional principal chief conservator of forests (APCCF), has also brought the matter to the attention of G Mallikarjun, conservator of forests and Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) director, whose jurisdiction includes the 812 acres of forest in the colony.
