Attempts by authorities to beautify the Western Express Highway by wrapping dazzling lights around light poles for Diwali have failed to impress motorists. Vehicle users said many stretches of the arterial carriageway at Kandivli, Goregaon and Malad do not have functioning streetlights, leaving the spots prone to accidents. They said the highway looks appealing due to additional lights but then suddenly goes dark in some places. Our lives are more important, say motorists.
On Tuesday, mid-day found streetlights were switched off on the highway at Samta Nagar in Kandivli, near Saidham temple in Malad, and near Hub Mall in Goregaon. Citizens said many accidents, including fatal ones, have taken place in these stretches.
