While Aarey Milk Colony authorities have started repairing nonfunctional streetlights on internal roads passing through forest patches to prevent incidents of human-animal conflict, it has come to light that some anti-social elements are stealing copper wires and damaging the lights. Aarey Milk Colony, spread across 16 square kilometres, has 28 tribal hamlets, slum pockets and cattle farms along with a good forest patch, and a population of over 50,000 people.
