Mumbai’s parking crisis is a growing concern, especially in residential areas. Not every building in the maximum city is equipped with parking spaces to facilitate residents. A man who recently came across an sea-facing accommodation here and called the flat “Awesome”, expressed a concern over lack of parking lot within the society. He mentioned he would have to end up placing his vehicle on the streets. Taking to social media, he asked whether it was a safe decision to leave the cars on roads surrounded with mangroves and witnessing salty air.
