The BMC has sent a letter to BEST, notifying them that it has been taking action against illegal hawkers on Court Lane (Bhaji Market Gully) in Borivli. This comes after the State Human Rights Commission took suo motu cognisance of the issue, based on a mid-day report about hawkers occupying the entire road, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass.
 
In response, BEST has stated that they are in the process of obtaining necessary clearances from the traffic police and BMC to resume their services. The letter, which was written with the intention of asking BEST to resume their services from Bhaji Market Gully, is in Marathi and is signed by Sandhya Nandedkar, Assistant Municipal Commissioner of R-Central Ward. A copy of the letter, which was sent to Gorai Bus Depot, has been obtained by mid-day.
