Footpaths, or the lack of them in particular, is the focus after an accident at Malabar Hill that claimed a 75 -year-old’s life. Much has been highlighted about the encroachments which have eroded our Mumbai pavements. In huge swathes, footpaths are non-existent. 

This edit space has often highlighted pavement apathy. With the few footpaths that are not encroached, the surface quality is questionable. There is a danger of falls with the rough, undulating tiling. 

Sometimes, bollards that had been installed have been dug up, leaving behind a little stump that people can stumble on or trip over.
