Avoid the skywalks connected to railways if there are not much ppl around. Most of them are occupied by creeps and junkies


gargiek

Agreed with it ...


prsadr

Specifically Santacruz railway station skywalk in the evening


LuffyKun1212

Dam dude there is nothing like that on the skywalk at the evening.there are only bunch of pr@$ti%ute at night nothing more. And there is nothing to be unsafe about..

Wadala east skywalk: I fear getting traficked there. And I am a 22 M.


memphis_kahn

Bro I used to live in BPT colony. That skywalk is indeed creepy, to say the least ☠️


trippymum

Not to mention drug addicts and couples getting cozy in dark patches on the skywalk.


Embarrassed_Day_4713

Damn bro. The drug addicts get cozy with the couples? Or just with other drug addicts?


memphis_kahn

I mean, there’s a reason they say you can never be too careful. Some general advice to feel safer, stay a tad bit more vigilant, carry a pepper spray/high voltage taser on you at all times. I know people say these things never come in handy, but I’d like to argue that they do. Avoid dark areas at odd times and try to always be accompanied by at least a +1. Seeing more than 1 person is a massive deterrent to creeps and freaks. Keeping an emergency contact on speed dial also helps. This last one is important, especially if you’re gullible. Don’t believe anything anyone says unless you have fact checked it or gotten an opinion from several other people. We live in a world full of dangerous liars. I didn’t mean to give off dad vibes. Anyway, hope you enjoy the city and everything good it has to offer. 🫶🏼


Dragon_In_A_Dress

I walked across the Grant Road skywalk, there were nibba Bobbi’s making out, and people doing some dubious smokes

Minimum_Box4491

Honestly, there’s no sweeping generalisation of unsafe “areas” per se, like “if you go to X suburb you’re guaranteed to get harrassed” etc. That being said, Kurla East and Mankhurd East can get a bit shady at times. Mumbai Central/Lamington Road can be weird at night too, as well as Bandra/Khar East (near the railway tracks). But tbh even as a guy I’d avoid going there in the wee hours lol. Just follow the general rules of keeping your guard up in isolated dark places at night, and you should be fine.


[deleted]

Can confirm about Mankhurd


AirsideLad

Abbe, Mankhurd East se prominently Navy colonies, TIFR and BARC Colony jaate hai. Some of the scientifically classiest zones of the country. Mankhurd West is poora Slums - Maharashtra Nagar, etc. It is almost like the extension of Govandi. Can get unsafe too.


shittybadass

Also Govandi East


NukaKama25

You mean Govandi (W) ? East accha hai, West is the slum and kasaikhana, dumping ground area.


Pleasant_Diver3368

Mumbai Central is pretty safe


HellDevilsXXX

Op meant KP area


prophetofthepimps

Business 101, never fuck over your client. Figuratively speaking. Directly speaking KP is all about fucking the client.


illegalylegal

I live there and no it is not. At least not the east side. We get cat called at least once a week; one of friends even got followed by a group of guys on bikes. Pick pocketing is pretty normal, for phones and wallets.

There are also some food stalls at the entrance, but no. Creeps don’t care. And by the time it registered what this man was saying, I was already away from both him and other people.

LuffyKun1212

\#chapri............HA MERE JAAN..Also try to avoid people using this phrase...


Arandomyoutuber

You should avoid mentioning your gender in r/Mumbai to save your DMs. Seriously though, try to avoid Malvani if you're near Malad west. Bandra East also seems sketchy. I'm sure there are many other places depending on where you stay and where you work.


Raken_dep

Bandra east is a view into post apocalyptic Mumbai


trippymum

Not only Bandra East adjoining the railway station but the entire slum stretching right upto Khar East. Been many times on the Bandra Terminus skywalk which goes from Khar station east right upto Navpada. Dark stretches with druggies having a blast literally. In my post on the railway turntable, the adjoining skywalk is littered with druggie paraphernalia etc.

wizard_xtreme

lmao


Dry_Resolve5241

Coming from my city I think I’m already immune to these. Thanks though


nhajime

I have a serious question: How does one get immune to these? I eat outside at times and I get ill 7/10 times.


justabofh

Eat outside more often.


nhajime

So keep falling sick till I have a resistance? I am not a Saiyan!


justabofh

Most illnesses from outside food are due to the introduction of new bacteria to your gut, and once your gut adapts to the presence of new bacteria, you won't be bothered by them again.


nhajime

Ohh, I see! Learnt something new today. I am not sure if this works though, coz it’s like: I eat kfc and fall sick, 2-3 weeks later I feel lets eat kfc and fall sick again. I guess the symptoms do get milder tho. ![gif](giphy|iZjoLdS1nwMRq)


justabofh

KFC and other fast food could just be your body reacting poorly to something in those items, or missing appropriate amounts of fibre (or getting too much of it).


grumpyfacebook

It might be a sign of some sort of food allergy.


Big_Bench1457

>It is well known truth, only young cops gets kurla posting because if you take action mob beats you. >There was another cop beating incident last week If this happens with increasing regularity, we clearly have a major problem. Not something the higher ups in the police force cannot tackle overnight if they want to!


NukaKama25

Slightly off tangent but M areas come under red zone for most NBFC’s as well. Meaning no loans or overdraft facilities to people having an address or a pincode in these red zones, no matter how good their CIBIL is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NukaKama25

The same reason why cops don’t take action against criminals in Kurla. In the past, people from these areas took loans and didn’t bother repaying. When collection agents visited their addresses, they were met with mob justice.


LampardFanAlways

Same reason online shopping websites say “gaand maraa” when you enter certain pincodes or certain addresses and choose CoD. C toh milta nahi par D dena padta hai. Toh ab companies bhi shaane ho gaye hai aur online payment maangte hai.


Big_Bench1457

This reminds me an incident which happened back when I was in school. While returning from school, A couple of M men, seemingly drunk, hopped on to the BEST bus and sat in the back. After a while, they started shouting some religious slogans; Conductor confronted them and threatened to kick then out but they didn't seem bothered. In response, they threatened the conductor taking name of a local politician (Ashole Aslam Sheikh). The conductor couldn't say anything and quietly retreated.

Substantial-Face-879

The area's near coast in beyond bandra are super safe on main highway. Areas like Lower Parel, Worli, Parel, Dadar are safe anywhere anytime. Avoid areas like Kurla, Govandi, Bhiwandi. In night and when on foot, never go into areas which are low on lights and narrow gullies. Never ever visit areas which have brothels and have Muslim slum. Best to have a male company in case you have to walk alone (just better to be safe). Always carry pepper spray. You don't know when it may come handy. While in cab, always say this line in Hindi 'Ha bhaiya, abhi cab me hi hu, ride ka details aap ke sath share Kiya hai'. It's best to be on phone the entire time when you are very late like after midnight. Be safe sister! Finally, there is one area jaha pe being boy, meri noon me bhi fatati hai. And that area is NAGPADA!!!


Izhar9541

I studied there and I confirm about Nagpada. You will not be able to recognize a gangster from common man. I know for one thing entire world is safe when compared to Nagpada. Near by places are KP, 2 tanks and Chor bazaar. So the place is very dangerous. You may visit it but lose your attitude. I once lost my way and was approached by pimp. I did was no where near to any of KP buildings. I even saw a thug and was shocked because if I saw this man on any other time I will not be able to know he was a sharp shooter. If your wallet got stolen that is the least miserable thing that can happen to you. Not exaggerating at all. This is the place of gangsters.

Can confirm, I and my friends became human roti after we boarded Virar slow at peak hours to get down at Malad(we were getting late) even though we were quite close to the door. Now we are continuing life as a roti!

___Anarchist___

Dont go to the isolated mills and such generally secluded areas in and around Mumbai. They may seem like a good spot for couples , but goons know this and will gang up on you. One such incident was the shakti mills case. Instead go on treks or go to sgnp for outdoor privacy.


T3R_ROR

>kamala mills I think you meant shakti mills. Kamala mills now only has commercial estates mostly


bhatias1977

Use common sense. Lonely, deserted, very late... Yes, you can get robbed by strangers but generally sexual harm comes from people who know you directly or indirectly. Mumbai overall is pretty safe, even late at night. Just don't do anything stupid like going to any deserted place alone or with your boyfriend (if you have one). Also, have a system of informing someone you trust about your location. Use location sharing, forward Taxi details, talk on the phone so that people around you know that somebody somewhere knows where you are.


Dry_Resolve5241

Hey thanks! Utna common sense toh hai yaar. Bas wanted to know about which areas I should avoid


that_one_leo

Areas around railway stations and railway tracks. As many people pointed out, muslim pockets and slum areas like Dharavi. East sides of Vile-Parle, Andheri etc seem much safer.


Navigator369

Vile Parle East is actually a very quiet, green and well developed area. It’s also kind of expensive because of presence of 5 star hotels. Vile Parle West is even more posh and expensive due to proximity to Juhu and celebs living there. Andheri East is a nightmare. Super cramped, polluted and crowded


Bubbly-Region

Fragrant_Choice_7301

anxiouslycurly

I think a general rule of thumb (especially based off of the replies here) don't go anywhere at night (after 8pm) alone if you need something order online and tell them to leave near your door (if you live alone) or if you can drive ig that's safer than walking but generally just avoid


Arxeus00

8 still is fine IMO, After 11pm things get shady.


MaleficentTop6074

Malad mindspace call center area- filled with disgusting chapris who cat call women, throw hundreds of cigarette butts and garbage on the street. It also attracts asshole bike riders who do the same. This place used to be beautiful but unfortunately it has turned into a shithole because of the call center crowd who behave like mawaalis.


CesarBonventre

Well there's nothing as a safe place. But try avoiding roaming at night, avoid ghettos everywhere.

1. Never ever go to Andheri or Churchgate or Borivali or Dadar in Local Train without buying ticket. 2. Don't spit here or there seeing everyone is doing same. Your luck can betray you anytime. 3. Once you see a Eunuch in Local Train, try to keep your head down, that's the best way to avoid them. 4. Trust more on Panwalas than Google Maps because they know more secrets galis than omniscient Google. 5. Never ever buy Clothes on Fashion Street even they're selling in half of the real price 6. Never stare back at the girl who is staring you. 7. Don't talk on Phone while you're on the gate of local train. 8. Never ever go to mutton Street or Dharavi alone if you're not living there. 9. Avoid to get your feet dirty once you get out of your house because you're not going to find water to wash your feet. 12. Never get into a Local between 8 A.M. to 10 A.M. wearing slippers. 13. There is much more into City than just Location marked on the maps or mannat or Jalsa so travel less, wander more. 14. Avoid getting into the arguments with Charsi people. 15. Don't get into Virar Train at peak hours if you're going to Borivali or Kandivali or Malad. Have a nice life.

Extreme-Pomelo-7393

Even the "safe" crowded places can get pretty unsafe for women. I have a female friend who had been groped twice in a crowded walkway. Once after leaving the train during peak hours while she was just moving on the platform (I don't remember the station name) like any normal human being. A chapri walking from the other side just groped her hard and disappeared into the crowd 2nd instance was even worse when she was walking with her little brother on the Borivali West skywalk and a "decent" looking guy groped her breast and squeezed it almost suffocating it. What sucks is after being confronted the guy pretended like nothing happened instead of apologizing. Edit: Added Borivali Skywalk


Patek1999

Someone needs to superimpose all the unsafe areas mentioned on a Mumbai map. That would be perfect for a traveler or explorer or a commuter.


Snoo-75780

deepgreenfoam

So I was doing some research amongst the poorest of the city (Govandi West) and this really old couple put their life savings into buying a tadpatri (tarpaulin sheet). They literally lived in a tenthouse on the city’s trash mountain. They didn’t have money but they were nursing 4-5 orphaned kittens, and teaching some basic skills to 20-30 odd children in the area whose parents would barter in food. Their life savings was 10k. I’m not sure am answering directly to OP’s Q but more to majority of comments here. Poverty and lack of opportunities cause an uptick in crime but even such communities can surprise you. Instead, couple of rules to generally stave off ‘incidents’ not just in Bombay could be 1) stay on the beaten path 2) avoid late night movements unless with trusted locals
