Sagar Vihar, a popular beach front leisure area in Navi Mumbai, is spread over half a kilometre. Yet, there is just one police officer in charge of security in the area and he does not even have a pair of binoculars. The personnel mid-day spoke to said lots of people who visit the place stay back at Sagar Vihar till 4 am the next day and create a lot of problems for the police. They have even attacked the police sometimes, he said.

Sagar Vihar came under police security cover after 26/11. As the area is vast, the police security person cannot even patrol the area for fear of keeping the entrance unguarded. The officer said, "There are some villagers who come to drink here but they leave post 10 pm. But, Sagar Vihar can be accessed from other places, too. So, anyone can enter from anywhere and it is impossible to keep an eye on everyone from the main entrance. CIDCO has not deployed any security people from their side like NMMC gardens have."
