In a letter addressed to the Assistant Commissioner of the M-East Ward, Bhandirge said unauthorised parking has increased after drainage repair work in the area was completed.

He noted that the problem is causing inconvenience to schoolchildren, pedestrians, senior citizens and motorists. He also requested civic authorities to reinstall roadside plant containers previously removed during the repair work. - Advocate Alexander Dsouza, Kurla

Riders flout law, risking lives to avoid fines

Motorists continue to endanger lives by carrying three passengers on two-wheelers, a practice known locally as triple riding. To evade police fines, these drivers frequently travel at excessive speeds or tailgate heavy goods vehicles and buses. Authorities warn that this reckless behaviour significantly increases the likelihood of catastrophic accidents. Commuters are urged to prioritise road safety over avoiding penalties, as these dangerous manoeuvres regularly result in preventable fatalities. - Deepak Agrawal, Navi Mumbai
