It is repairs and reconstruction time for five skywalks in the western suburbs. According to a report in this paper, citing previous incidents of skywalks collapsing, the Opposition has stated that the skywalks are white elephants.

While political finger-pointing is to be expected, one does need to point out that some skywalks have been built only to be demolished for some other infrastructure. The Nana Chowk mammoth skywalk has a non-functional escalator for years now, and residents have spoken out about how nobody is using that part of the structure for years. Reports throughout have highlighted how women are on edge on certain portions of the skywalks as these are dimly lit and pose a danger.
