In a case of utter neglect, one of the key historic milestones among the 16 restored and celebrated by the BMC a few years ago, has been badly damaged by its own beautification work at Chinchpokli. By afternoon, the BMC had begun the process of its restoration. The Mumbai milestone project has been widely appreciated globally, even by the Milestone Society of UK.

K Kailash, a local resident said, “I was walking past the area the other day and was shocked to find the newly restored milestone broken. It was done up quite nicely and I found it had been broken by the beautification work that has been going on. This shows there is absolutely no co-ordination or supervision of work 
being done.”
