A primary school in Andheri, Mumbai, has formally requested the municipal corporation to install a speed breaker on the road adjacent to its premises. The road is used daily by 300 to 400 children who walk or cycle to the school. Despite the heavy footfall, no traffic calming device has been installed, raising safety concerns among parents and staff. The petition, submitted by the school’s parent‑teacher association, cites frequent near‑miss incidents involving speeding vehicles. Officials have acknowledged the request and said they will review the proposal in the upcoming municipal meeting.
