Officials at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seem to have forgotten about the Bombay High Court directive of no-hawking zones within a 150-metre radius of railway stations. In Borivli, hawkers have been blatantly selling their wares while flouting rules. In fact, they were seen outside Moksh Plaza on Jambli Gully, selling their goods right beside the civic body’s anti-encroachment vehicle that is stationed there to prevent hawkers from encroaching roads. Jambli Gully is a vital connector to the arterial SV Road which runs parallel to Borivli railway station.
