Skywalk Shops

Skywalk Shops


The BMC's reported plan to set up shops along the sky walks is an ill-conceived one. The skywalk was set up for free movement of pedestrians and that too for their exclusive use. It helps unhindered movement of vehicular traffic and also hazzle-free movement for people. Shops and their customers will certainly block free movement. Even hawkers should not be allowed and any obstruction will certainly negate the purpose for which skywalks were conceived and constructed.Whatever the compulsions otherwise, the plan should be scrapped and pedestrians should oppose the move. The corporators must serve the larger interests of Mumbaikars and not the trading community.
