Local residents had brought this matter to the attention of the higher authorities of the Mumbai Police and MLA Lande. Considering this demand, Lande has set up a police help post at the entrance of the heritage park after obtaining all the necessary permissions from the police administration and the BMC garden department.
“There are parks in the area, citizens especially women and senior citizens, come for morning and evening walks. Police presence will make them feel safe. There have been complaints from citizens that some youths are misbehaving and making noise. Therefore, this police help room has been provided by the residents for the police, which will help us maintain law and order in the area,” said Senior Police Inspector Jitendra Sonawane.
