On the day mid-day reported on illegally parked trucks filled with gas cylinders outside the Srishti Harmony Society on the bustling Saki Vihar Road in Powai, the trucks were found to be absent on Monday. While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said that the cylinders were seized thrice in the past 15 days, the civic body cannot do anything else.

However, the BMC L ward office did officially complain  about the issue to the Powai police and wrote to the traffic police’s Sakinaka division to take action against the illegal activity being carried out at the spot. The area opposite the society is a no-parking area, yet the trucks are parked and function like a godown, said residents. While residents claim BMC took no action, the civic body itself said that it is for the city police and traffic police to intervene.
