Schoolchildren join the protest at the Delisle Road bridge site on Wednesday
Local residents from Lower Parel and Curry Road upset by the non-completion of the Delisle Bridge construction are voicing their discontent with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over the prolonged delay in completing the second arm of the bridge. They took a proactive approach by bringing their children to the construction site, holding placards that questioned the authorities about when the bridge would finally be ready.
Gaurav Sankapal, a member of the Lower Parel Bridge Kurti Committee, stated that the bridge has been closed for the past five years. Despite many promises, the work has not been completed. He mentioned, “Now the BMC says that a single lane will be opened toward N M Joshi’s side arm on September 18. However, our demand is that the BMC should open the full bridge on September 18.”
