Recently, seven residents from the Nana Chowk area, met Shiv Sena MP for Mumbai South, Arvind Sawant at his SoBo office to press for demolition of the Nana Chowk skywalk, which they label as a “monstrosity”. They spoke to him for half an hour, about a slew of problems which have been reported in the past, from peeping Toms on the skywalk, to filthy surroundings, vagabonds and drunks on the infrastructure, to amorous couples getting it on, on the mostly deserted skywalk, once night falls.

A dead pigeon on the defunct escalator, residents claim it has been there since weeks
