First of all, it is blocking the view of anyone who is travelling behind it. The driver must also be careful about the extreme dimensions of this container and has to take it into account while making a judgement when passing by another vehicle closely. However, the worst aspect is that since the Alto is not designed to carry such huge loads, the mechanical components could sustain long-time wear and tear. There is added weight on the suspension and tyres and the engine will be in overpower model all the time.
