With the municipal corporation elections nearing, citizen groups and ALMs (Advanced Locality Managements) have begun placing their demands before political parties and candidates. The Gulmohar Area Societies Welfare Group (GASWG) from the upscale Juhu locality has sought a complete ban on the parking of commercial vehicles, including autorickshaws, on the lanes of Gulmohar and JVPD. The group has also demanded the eviction of unlicensed hawkers from both areas, along with several other civic-related demands.

Filmmaker and chairman of GASWG, Ashok Pandit told Sunday mid-day that they are giving a copy of their citizens charter of demands to the poll candidates contesting from this ward (Ward 67). The demands include stricter enforcement of civic and planning norms to improve liveability in the neighbourhood.
