In Mumbai, residents of Kalina-Kurla area staged a road blockade (rasta roko) and demanded the authorities concerned to complete work immediately on the Kalina-Kurla bridge over Mithi river. The protesters blocked traffic on LBS Road to a standstill for close to half an hour.
The protesters complained that for years now, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has shut the bridge for repairs. Another protester said that with the closure of the bridge, it has become problematic during medical emergencies as people have to take a detour through CST Road-Kapadia Nagar, which is crowded due to scrap dealers.
The bridge in question is not even open for two-wheelers and light vehicles, making it all the more difficult for locals.
