When all else fails, just step in and do it yourself. Going by the recent developments in the city, this seems to be Mumbai's new mantra. Two reports in this paper yesterday certainly point to this.

A group of women in Kalyan took on a group of drug addicts populating their neighbourhood garden and threw them all out on Sunday. These addicts had been giving the locality sleepless nights for a whole month. And, predictably, the local police could not do a thing. Then there is the 20-year-old teacher who tracked down her stolen phone with the aid of a phone tool and even nabs the thief.
