Mumbai's Footpaths: Crowded, Neglected, and in Need of Reform

Mumbai's Footpaths: Crowded, Neglected, and in Need of Reform

In Mumbai, many people walk to get around, but the city's footpaths are often crowded with vendors and full of garbage.

This makes it hard for people to walk safely.

The footpaths were once wider and better, but over time, they have become narrower and more cluttered.

The government has tried to fix this by starting projects to improve footpaths, but many people say these efforts are not enough.

They want the government to make walking safer and more comfortable by enforcing laws and spending more money on footpaths.

Some areas, like near busy train stations, need special attention because so many people walk there every day.
