Motorists commuting along the busy Mankhurd stretch have raised serious concerns over a group of women beggars who allegedly step directly into moving traffic instead of remaining on pavements. The women, often seen carrying newborn babies and accompanied by an elderly woman, reportedly approach vehicles halted at signals and even slow-moving traffic, putting themselves and motorists at risk.
Regular commuters say the situation has become frequent, particularly during peak hours when traffic congestion is high. With the Mankhurd stretch witnessing heavy vehicular movement throughout the day, commuters are urging coordinated action by the traffic police and local authorities to prevent a potential mishap and ensure motorists and pedestrians are safe.
