This needs attention and a rethink. If there is a way to tackle the protruding wires, it must happen now. If that entails removing these gabion cages, then that also has to be done. The priority must be tackling the threat of injury with alacrity.

It must be remembered that horses and riders sometimes do go down Matheran’s pathways at some speed and at this time especially these wires can cause grievous and at times, fatal injuries.

We are also swerving into high tourist season at the hill station. In fact, crowds have already started arriving with the abating of the monsoon, and more will surely descend given the festival holidays that are coming up. Even end of the year is a big lure for tourists to swarm Matheran, given the slight dip in temperature and improving weather. When danger points are evident and they merit action, one cannot sit on the information or push it on the backburner. Make a wise and informed decision with safety above all.
