The picture at BKC and Bandra East on Wednesday was quite different from that on Tuesday. Following a series of reports in mid-day on the auto menace around these locations, the police yesterday deployed an additional force, including some senior-level officers to monitor the situation on ground. At least 179 errant drivers were resultantly booked outside Bandra East.

The drive against auto mafias that began on Sunday, had almost fizzled out by Tuesday with the deployment of a handful of police officers at the spot and passengers being rebuffed.
