The Greater Mumbai Corporation's G/South ward has undertaken a 'Pedestrian First' campaign, removing 14 unauthorized structures and extensions, 77 hawker obstructions, and nine food trucks from footpaths in the Worli-Prabhadevi area. This enforcement action, guided by the Municipal Commissioner's directives from August 6, targeted encroachments obstructing pedestrian movement.
The removal of structures, including two flower-bed platforms, raised structures, unauthorised water tanks, and other obstructions, aims to make the footpaths more accessible and usable for pedestrians. The campaign, led by the Assistant Commissioner, G/South Ward, across key roads like Dainik Shivner Marg, Fitwala Marg, and Balasheth Madurkar Marg, is part of the civic body's broader strategy to enhance pedestrian infrastructure and public spaces in Mumbai.
The focus remains on pedestrian safety, ensuring citizens can navigate without stepping onto busy roads due to encroachments. This enforcement is expected to continue with continuous field-level actions to keep pedestrian pathways clear and prevent future occupation.
