In a people friendly initiative, the Mumbai Police launched the Sunday street programme over the past weekend. This essentially meant keeping stretches of certain roads closed to traffic for a few hours. Within these few hours in the morning people could come out to run, cycle, skate on these stretches. Alternatively, they could simply walk and enjoy a few hours of no traffic on the roads and relative peace. This is one way of improving the quality of life for Mumbaikars and part of the plan to become more citizen oriented.

The objectives are laudable and the small window can certainly be a mood lifter for Mumbaikars who can enjoy their streets to the hilt.
