With no sleeping arrangements made for this year's police recruitment aspirants, outstation candidates take over the padas of Aarey Colony, read a front page report in this paper.

At least 2,000 to 5,000 aspirants have been forced to stay in dangerous conditions in Aarey Milk Colony, sleeping in the open, exposed to attacks from leopards and snakes. Apparently, there are three centres in Mumbai; an SRPF camp in Goregaon, one in Naigaon and the other one in Marol. A good Samaritan is trying to provide them facilities like toilets at least. One hopes that the authorities provide basic accommodation and makeshift toilets at safer place so that these desperate young men do not have to put their lives at risk.
