The public toilets constructed at Aarey Milk Colony by Member of Parliament Sachin Tendulkar are helping the tribals staying there, but the lack of street lights in the Mataipada area (which has one of the toilets), has increased the chances of a man-animal conflict. In the past two, three weeks, there have been incidents of increased leopard sightings. This is the same location where a leopard was trapped few weeks back. The locals want lights installed there at the earliest.
