Residents living at Sector 2, Vashi have raised concerns about the constant presence of heavy vehicles in their lanes, which is causing traffic and parking issues. They have stated that not only are they eating up the parking space of residents but also causing traffic chaos.

Sagar Vichare shared pictures of X, formerly known as Twitter and tagged Navi Mumbai Police and NMMC. He said, “It seems that the NMMC has sold the roads to the builder who is developing the Meghdoot or Meghraj Theatre plot located in Sector 2, Vashi. This road has been encroached for more than a month. But no efforts were made to clear the road by Traffic Police or NMMC.”

Rashmi Deshmukh, another resident of Sector 2 said, “There is a lot of redevelopment work going on at the moment in Vashi. What happens in such a scenario is that these heavy vehicles take over the lanes or roads where the work is on-going and it becomes a hassle for the residents who are living in the area. The Traffic Police should look into this and ensure that heavy vehicles do not ply beyond their designated hours. Also, priority for parking should be given to residents and heavy vehicles need a dedicated area where they can be parked.”
These vehicles not only monopolize parking spaces meant for residents but also contribute to chaotic traffic conditions. Hence, residents are seeking an amicable solution from the traffic police.
