🏢 The Rule That Sparked Controversy
In Mumbai, a housing society introduced a rule banning vehicles from entering the premises for pick-ups and drop-offs.
➡️ Residents had to walk nearly 300 meters from the main gate to reach their homes.
👉 While it may have been intended for internal management, the rule ignored basic convenience and daily practicality.
⚠️ When Safety Became a Concern
What seemed like a minor rule quickly turned into a serious safety issue.
➡️ Women returning late at night
➡️ Elderly residents
➡️ Individuals carrying groceries or luggage
👉 Walking long distances in dimly lit or isolated areas increased discomfort and risk.
