Construction material and debris kept near the road median is posing an obstacle to motorists, bikers and daily travellers on the New Link Road between Dahisar and Kandivli, especially during peak hours. The debris, along with ongoing work, is not only taking away space on the road but is also causing dust pollution.
In a bid to check the situation, a mid-day team travelled on the stretch below Metro-2A between Dahanukarwadi and Anand Nagar on Thursday and found debris, from MMRDA’s Metro work, lying on the road at many places and that the road surface was also uneven at some stretches. The BMC is also carrying out road stripes work at a few locations, which is leading to dust pollution, said regular travellers.
