Abandoned vehicles on roads is a common sight in Mumbai. These vehicles cause traffic woes as well. In order to tackle the same, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to start toll free numbers, email ID, and Whatsapp number services for the citizens.
In Mumbai, hundreds of new vehicles are registered every day but limited parking space leads to traffic issues such as traffic jams, chaos and parking along the pavement for pedestrians.

In view of rising traffic woes due to abandoned vehicles, Mahesh Bedekar had filed a petition in Bombay High Court. During a hearing, the HC directed the BMC to constitute a cell and provide toll free numbers, Whatsapp number and email ID for the public to register their complaints.
The cell, expected to start soon, will work from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and the languages offered will be English, Hindi and Marathi. The cell will provide all information about the parking issues, besides traffic-related information.
