Recently, a correspondent of this paper witnessed a mugging incident on the Kalyan skywalk. Three men attacked a commuter, snatched his wallet and fled the spot. The correspondent took photos of the trio, which helped in nabbing at least one of the muggers. The report on the incident stated that though the civic body has cracked the whip on hawkers near railway stations and bridges across the city and adjoining areas in the aftermath of the Elphinstone Road stampede, skywalks snaking from different stations in the city still pose a challenge and are a convenient refuge many a time for anti-social activities. Now that the skywalks have already been made, many with myopic thinking and no futuristic vision, like the one at Nana Chowk, the least we can do is ensure that they do not become dens of crime and dangerous for ordinary citizens.
