For Karan Shah, a wheelchair user from Dadar, late Monday morning turned into an unusual civic moment. Shah travelled along newly cleared pavements in Dadar and met Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani to thank him for the ongoing anti-hawking drive that has opened up pedestrian space in the area.

The civic action follows Bombay High Court directives and is part of a wider crackdown across Dadar, Parel and Matunga to clear encroachments and improve pedestrian access.
