Today, in Los Angeles, a foreign driver of an SUV was found guilty of 2nd degree murder, of an innocent pedestrian. I wish they found him guilty of 1st degree murder. Why are drivers worldwide so cowardly, vicious and arrogant? I strongly support the rights of pedestrians in Mumbai and around the world.

Through a movement called Sahasi Padayatri, Mr. Rao has been engaged in a variety of initiatives and non-violent agitations to improve conditions for pedestrians; he has demarcated lanes for pedestrians on streets where pedestrians compete with buses, cars and motorcycles due to the lack of walkable footpaths and he has dumped rubbish blocking pedestrian areas at the steps of local government office buildings to raise awareness of the obstacles facing pedestrians.
