It looks like the space crunch in the city is getting to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) as well. For, the civic body is now constructing a police chowki in a building that will also house public urinals, with only a wall to separate the two, much to the cops’ dismay. The upset policemen have now written to the BMC, asking for the new chowki to be moved to a different location.

Both the beat chowki (top, right) and the public urinals are to be housed in a single structure that the BMC is currently building in the Antop Hill bus depot compound. All that separates the public loos from the chowki is the wall in between.
