Updated by ashishkh Fed-up residents tell the BMC / Traffic police to prevent illegal parking on footpath and in front of gate
The senior citizens of Mahakali Kutir Chawl, Opp. Takshila Bldg, Gate 1, Andheri East, Mumbai-93, have come together to fight against the menace of illegal parking at entrance in their area, leaving no space for pedestrians. The residents of Mahakali Kutir Seva Sang, Andheri East, Mumbai-93, recently sent a letter to BMC's K-East ward office demanding immediate action against taxi/two wheeler's shop owners who have parked in front of the gate. The complaint is primarily against the shoppers on rental basis in our area.
A majority of the complainants are senior citizens from the area, who have taken up the issue on a war footing. "It's been just a few months since the footpaths and roads at Mahakali Kutir Chawl were resurfaced for the benefit of the residents. We had hoped that at least now people will stop parking their taxis / two wheeler's on the pavement and our entrance. Unfortunately, the opposite has happened, " complained Ashish K Hatkar, a resident of the Mahakali Kutir Seva Sang Chawl.
"There is no space for us to walk as the lane is very narrow. When we brought this to the notice of the traffic police, we were asked to approach the BMC. We had no choice but to register a complaint against the owners, " said Ashish.
Ashish, a resident of Mahakali Kutir, said. “There is a taxi stand in front of our chawl entrance, all the day taxis has parked otherwise shop owners, park their bikes in front of our entrance. The condition is the worst in the evening, " he added.
A prompt action will be highly appreciated.
