Residents living near the Wadala RTO have raised concerns about a poorly maintained footpath and inadequate street lighting on Mukundrao Ambedkar Road.
A woman resident said, “The footpath does not feel safe to use while alone, and the lack of light makes things scarier. There have been multiple chain-snatching incidents on this stretch. We work till 10 pm some days, and there aren’t many cabs plying at that time, so we always walk in groups if it gets too late.”
