Mumbai&rsquo;s 26 skywalks, built to provide safer pedestrian crossings, are facing questions over their usage, maintenance and accessibility. While the BMC has spent Rs 286.58 crore on the skywalks it constructed, many structures see limited footfall and commuters have raised concerns over steep staircases, non-functional escalators, lack of lifts, poor lighting, safety and maintenance.&nbsp;(Pics/Ashish Raje)

The MMRDA spent Rs 900 crore to construct 36 skywalks in Mumbai, aiming to improve pedestrian safety and reduce traffic congestion. Despite the significant investment, the skywalks are largely underused, with pedestrians preferring to walk on roads instead. (Pics/Satej Shinde)
