While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to convert all asphalt roads to concrete, there has been a discrepancy as the authority repaired a patch of Kidwai Road in Wadala with asphalt instead of concrete. Even after the patch was repaired in June, it was damaged again in July.
Local residents of Wadala have highlighted this issue. Nimish Malde, a resident of Wadala, tweeted about the problem, stating that the BMC had carried out stormwater drain work at several locations between Azad Nagar and Madhav Nagar on R A Kidwai Marg in Wadala. After the work, the BMC repaired three patches with asphalt on June 2, 2023. However, on July 9, Malde discovered that these patches were damaged, and potholes had formed.
