Possible solution for car parking problem
Mr. Gupta, resident and concerned citizen of Malabar Hill has suggested a possible solution for the car parking problem on our Hills.
He’s suggested there is a scheme in the Development Control Regulations called the Public Parking Scheme. This scheme provides societies to come forward and provide parking for the public while redeveloping their old buildings. This will require cooperation & action from the authorities and see the practicality. If they can be convinced by substantially reducing the premium payable, atleast for the first 2-3 proposals on roads requiring parking spaces, this can resolve Malabar Hill parking problems. If successful it can be extended for the City.
Pet’s poop littering on roads
According to the BMC sanitation and health by-law 2006 if a
pet poops in a public place, the owner
or caretaker should clean the mess or the civic body can collect Rs 500 as
fine.
Even after this law there is lot of pet poop on our neighbourhood roads. Many owners and care
takers do take the effort to clean up and dispose off accordingly. However some
don’t and refuse. A residents while on her morning walk points this out when
any caretaker doesn’t clean up the poop. Most of the time she gets a very rude
reply. It is a request to all pet owners to comply rules and also instruct
their caretakers to clean up the poop. BMC should put up more boards indicating
the BMC rules and fines.
