NAVI MUMBAI: A Vashi-based woman activist and alert citizens have urged Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) to ensure that the menace of illegal hawkers does not "mushroom into a bigger problem that can endanger the lives of people".
Activist Madhu S, who had earlier complained about an illegal tea stall on the footpath in sector 29, has now intimated the civic body and the police authorities that she fears for her life as certain affected parties are intimidating her for complaining and also tried to lodge a counter complaint against her as a pressure tactic.
