The Bandra west skywalk, one of the busiest in the city, has become a hub for addicts and gamblers. Citizens using the FOB have complained that these anti-social elements urinate and even defecate on the Badi Masjid side entry.
During mid-day's skywalk audit last year, this paper had reported on the filth there, and how beggars and hawkers had taken over the stretch. The NGO, Jai Ho Foundation, has shared a video of gamblers playing with cards on the skywalk near the Lucky Hotel junction, even as curious schoolchildren take a peek while walking by. Advocate Adil Khatri, general secretary of the foundation, said, "The skywalk has become a den for drug addicts. There are gamblers playing cards. All these illegal activities are going on in broad daylight. Who will be responsible if any untoward incident happens with schoolchildren using the skywalk?"
