Fews days back, there was a notice at the auto rickshaw stand inside Swastik Park, inviting rickshaws that they could avail night parking space inside Swastik Park for a nominal monthly fee. Wondered whether it was right and legal? Never realised the gravity of that invitation until HOLI day, when I popped out in the morning … Swastik Park was nothing but a HUGE auto-rickshaw stand.
Also saw this artical today in TOI yesterday, about similar issues around Chembur … titled “Illegal parking: Trucks give Chembur locals” . It was mainly about how hundreds of Chembur colony have been facing the issue of illegal parking of Trucks and JCBs for nearly two years despite several attempts by them to make the authorities take remedial action.
The worst bit for our fellow residents is part of waking at 4 every morning to the rumble of the reving trucks and JCBs.
