Around 50 members of the not-for-profit Watchdog Foundation led a protest at Sahar village, Vile Parle on Saturday, to highlight the shoddy road work by the authorities. The protesters covered the potholes with umbrellas to draw attention to the plight of motorists.

“Last week, a scooter broke down on this stretch due to the potholes,” said Godfrey Pimenta, a lawyer and founder of Watchdog Foundation. The NGO also placed gunny bags filled with debris on a water-logged road outside the ATS Complex in Sahar, so that people didn’t have to step into mucky water.
