Slums have been demolished to make way for towers. Occupants of these towers now park their vehicles on the access/exit road of the estate, eating into its width and narrowing it down dangerously

A report in this paper on Thursday, which highlighted shrinking access for owners of workspaces at an industrial estate in Prabhadevi has struck a chord with many others, proving this is a widespread problem in the city.
The report stated how a 45-year-old industrial estate with galas manufacturing flammable material is in the danger zone. A mammoth Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project next to this estate has affected the access road to the commercial zone. Slums have been demolished to make way for towers.
