To make Mumbai’s footpaths more pedestrian-friendly, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has adopted a strict “no ramp on footpath” policy. 

As part of the ongoing concreting of roads, the BMC is also repairing footpaths and roadside drains. During this process, ramps built by societies and commercial buildings for vehicle movement were removed. On March 5, mid-day reported a similar issue faced by Crescent Grande on Old Nagardas Road, Andheri East. After road work, the new street level was lowered, making it difficult for the society to construct a ramp.
