For two days in a row, this paper has been reporting about a tragedy within the leafy environs of the Dadar Parsi Colony (DPC). A girl was hit by a bike as she darted out of her building compound while playing. She succumbed to her injury steeping the upscale community housing hub in grief.

What this case does is throw the spotlight on the general biker menace that DPC residents have been complaining about for more than a year now. With its 11 gardens, huge space and relatively quiet lanes, the DPC attracts bikers who use the space to race down its lanes. Sometimes they climb on to pavements which are nearly empty during work hours or ride towards the gardens. While all are welcome to enjoy the green this Colony has within, they must do so following the law and considering the concerns of the demographic there - senior citizens and little children.
