Subject: Unauthorized commercial vehicles parking stands and illegal parking under the Metro Line Bridge, in and around Domestic and International Airports and in the jurisdiction of  MIDC, Sahar, Airport, Vile Parle, Andheri, Sakinaka and Jogeshwari Police Stations & unauthorized parking stands under the banners/flags of Political Parties.

 Sir,

We would like to inform you that the traffic of the whole Mumbai city is become worst and everywhere unauthorized vehicles are parked in the NON PARKING area & the commercial vehicles are indulged for the encroachment under the banner/flag of the political parties, trade Unions. It is pertinent to note that even our taximen/automen are  also put their private taxi stands in the no parking areas or the corner of the roads/crossings, one way roads, single roads, etc but due to the non action of your officers, know the situation are worst.  

We would like to draw your attention that the parking mafia is busy in the encroachment on roads under the protection of the local police station and the traffic police division officials willfully and deliberately. They are creating traffic jams/problems and also law and order problems in the area. You’re all the officers working in the respected area are indulge in corruption and providing help this parking mafia and not ready to take any action against them.

The parking mafia is parking their vehicles both the sides of the roads, corners, western express highways, under the Metro Line Bridge from Versova to Ghatkopar, in and around Domestic and International Airports and in the jurisdiction of MIDC, Sahar, Airport, Vile Parle, Andheri and Jogeshwari Police Stations.

When we approached your concerned officers/traffic head constable/beat marshals then we got shocking reply that “where the people park their vehicle?” and they told us this is the duty of the Commissioner of Police and Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic. We feel shame if your officers reply in such manners.

We would also like to draw your attention that the Vile Parle Police Station is not ready to take any action against the tourist/meter taxi/fleet taxi and other vehicles parked outside/in and around the Police Station on the one way road, western express highway under their jurisdiction. All the times there is a traffic jam but they are not ready to do anything for their personal gain.

In the similar manner MIDC police station knows about the vehicles parked on the heavy traffic roads 24X7 but they don’t bothers. If you have some time then visit in those areas & then you known the reality about the same and also know how your officers are indulged in corruption.

It is pertinent to note that parking under the Metro line are security threats to our Metro Rail projects & you know very well this facts. It is pertinent to note that in the Sakinaka Area, Motor Garages & tourist cabs has encroached permanently under the Metro line and traffic is the major problem in this area.

It is pertinent to note the commercial vehicles are indulged for the encroachment under the banner/flag of the political parties, trade Unions. It is pertinent to note that even our taximen is also put their private taxi stands in the no parking areas or the corner of the roads/crossings, one way roads, single roads, etc but due to the non action of your officers, know the situation are worst in the city of Mumbai.  

The different agencies i.e., BMC, MMRDA, Mumbai Police & the Traffic Police are putting the blames on each other’s for the illegal parking stands & the parking in the non parking areas.

We request both of you to please direct your concerned officers to take immediate necessary action on the above mentioned matter & clear the roads for the Public at large within two weeks, failing which, we have no option but to approached the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay in the way of “PUBLIC INTREST LITIGATION” entirely at your risk & cost, which you please note.

Thanking you,
Faithfully yours,
For Mumbai Taximen Sangathan
