Acting on a mid-day report highlighting the plight of a public plot in Navagaon, Dahisar West, that would turn into an open-air vice den crowded with drunkards and drug addicts after sunset, the authorities have installed light poles and made plans to have CCTV cameras.

Taking cognizance of the report of May 31, the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission had filed a suo moto case and asked the authorities to respond within a stipulated time and also be physically present for the hearing (mid-day has a copy of the notice).
