Hawkers — hawkers encroaching full footpath at mg road, goregaon, west mumbai-62

Address: 400062

Dear Sir
We are resident of mg road goregoan west mumbai 400062, hawkers our side of mg road have encroached full width of footpath and pedestrians, childeren, elderly people, pregnant ladies have to forcibly walk on the middle of the road as vehicles as well are parked on the road. there is a serious risk always to a pedestrian being hit by vehicles and several such incidents happened and are happening. These hawkers (vegetable and fruit vendors) and FREE SQUATTERS don’t leave any place to walk on footpath despite several requests and they turn hostile on requesting them. This has become serious menace and several complaints have been made on BMC official app but the menace has only increased since then and new hawkers are encroaching any place left. Please take necessary action. Location is NEAR THAKKAR DAIRY, OPPOSITE GETWELL CHEMISTS, MG ROAD, GOREGAON WEST MUMBAI 400062. The photograph attached is classic examples and if you move ahead on MG Road towards link road you will observe whole of footpath in full of its width has been aggressively encroached, INDICATING THAT THERE IS NO SYSTEM, ORDER OR LAW IN PLACE TO STOP THEM. On another note, we are surprised why we even have to complain as it is quite evident and self explanatory how these walking spaces are encroached endangering pedestrians. Same is the scene on Goregoan west skywalk as well. BMC have to take cognizance of this matter and do their duty towards tax payers without even having to wait for a complaint by any resident.

Thanks
Resident
