The Brihanumumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to restart repair work on the Rs 20-lakh drainage line at Peddar Road in May after work had to be halted following complaints by commuters.

"We had to stop work at Peddar road, yesterday, as it was creating problems for commuters. Once the road was restricted to one-way use, traffic flow was expected to be heavy so we had planned for alternative routes with the help traffic department but things did not work out," Additional Municipal Commissioner R A Rajeev said.
