BMC — hawkers on narrow footpath near marol naka metro, gate 2

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400059

The footpath near marol naka metro station, gate 2, is completely occupied by hawkers and have very little space for commuters to move. Also they have gases and stoves which is dangerous incase of an emergency. They were removed few months back but they have again come up. The hawkers and their stall occupy almost 75% of the footpath leaving no space for commuters to walk who have to push each other while walking. This is dangerous situation where the gas stoves are so close to commuters. I registered a complaint with metro dept. And they said that footpath is not their concern and that i should approach the bmc. I humbly urge the bmc to clear these hawker and safeguard the lives of it citizens. Please help.
