Devendra Fadnavis Responds to Saif Ali Khan's Attack
Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis responded to attack on Saif. He had attended the screening of Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency'. Reacting to all the criticism and people calling Mumbai unsafe, Fadnavis said, "Among all the megacities in the country, Mumbai is the safest. It is true that some incidents take place sometimes and they should be treated with seriousness but to say, based on one incident, that Mumbai is unsafe would not be correct. This tarnishes Mumbai's image. But the government is working to make Mumbai even safer."
Karishma Tanna, Saif Ali Khan's neighbour opens up on the incident
“It’s a crazy scene outside as I am talking to you… there are a lot of cops and media downstairs. The whole incident is a wakeup call for a lot of stand along buildings in Bandra. I have been telling everybody in my cooperative housing society for over a year or even more to increase the security. The watchmen I feel need to be properly trained. They are not reliable in case of such incidents. If a burglar barges in your building, the watchmen are not trained enough to tackle the situation. How will a family handle such a situation? It’s very scary."

Pooja Bhatt Says Bandra Is Turning Unsafe
Pooja Bhatt: 'The air in Bandra has changed. There are miscreants, unauthorised business and activities, illegal parking and even garbage being dumped everywhere. There was a time when there was regular police patrolling and the presence of police everywhere, and one felt safe. Pressure needs to be put on police to resume regular patrolling. Their presence is a deterrent. In the lack of their presence, antisocial elements thrive. I know that the police can't be everywhere. That is where we need to step up as citizens by reporting these lapses.'
