These spots are placed closer to the entrance to prevent physical strain and are usually wider so they can open the car door fully to get out comfortably. It’s just a small gesture to make a public space safer for both the mom and the ba!” wrote one user. Comments also poured in from people in other cities, who claimed similar facilities already ex in several malls across India. “It’s in Vijayawada too,” one user wrote, while another simply said, “Very helpful.” However, the discussion also drew a fair share of sarcasm and criticism.
