Concerns surrounding the main road of Aarey Milk Colony, under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), show no signs of being addressed. Vehicles continue to get stuck in the soil on both sides of the concrete road, raising the risk of accidents. Residents are now calling for murrum soil (powdered rock) to be used on either side of the road to prevent further incidents.
Shiv Sena (UBT) Shakha Pramukh Sandip Gadhave said, “I’ve repeatedly pointed out the corruption involved in constructing the CC [cement concrete] main road inside Aarey Milk Colony. We’ve all seen the cracks that appeared on the newly built CC road there.”
