Bikes parked outside a prominent Nepean Sea Road housing society, blocking the main gate and making access and exit very challenging were removed promptly by the police. Cops took action at the main gate of the Simla House Co-Operative Housing Society after it was brought to their notice that the society had written in to the traffic authorities about this nuisance.

This paper had a front-page report about the lightning quick action by the cops, after the press alerted top officials about the communication. Yet, it took pressure and a nudge from the media to make the authorities realise that these illegally parked two-wheelers, many of them belonging to the locals in the vicinity, posed a huge inconvenience and danger to the mammoth residential pocket.
