In a rather unconventional solution to the problem, the BMC has covered the stormwater drainage covers with tar. Motorists travelling on Dattaji Salvi Road, from the Andheri RTO signal to the Veera Desai Road signal, are expressing dissatisfaction over the bumpy ride, as the tarred sections over the drainage covers are raised above the level of the road.

On Wednesday, mid-day travelled on the road from the RTO junction signal to the Veera Desai signal, and during our visit, we observed that on the eastbound stretch of the cement concrete (CC) road, there are a couple of locations where the BMC is carrying out work related to the stormwater department. Due to this, a 50-metre eastbound stretch has been closed, and traffic has been diverted to the other side of the road.
