Locals have complained of empty, unkept gardens where druggies have a field day. Most of the drug scene happens after sunset, residents may be unaware but used syringes are an indication that nefarious activity is on

Residents of Mulund East complained about a druggie menace near the railway tracks and appealed to the railways to take up the matter urgently, a recent report in this paper said. Locals have been quoted saying that drug addicts are using the space which is empty behind the buffer of the shunting line. This is an easy entry-exit point between the Railways and the road.
This shunting neck rail line aligns a dilapidated and unguarded railway colony at one end and an abandoned power sub-station at the other end.
