Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Aaditya Thackeray on Monday criticised the poor condition of roads in his Worli Assembly Constituency and accused the agency responsible for ongoing construction work of delivering substandard results, reported news agency ANI.

Speaking to the media, the Mumbai legislator pointed out that with the monsoon season approaching, road repairs were being carried out too late and are being done poorly.

"I had predicted that people would suffer due to the agency. It is now coming true. While the monsoon is approaching, concrete work is going on. It feels like we are standing on the moon. This road was built 15 days ago. It is of poor quality. The agency has only started work to extract money," Aaditya Thackeray said, highlighting the poor condition of the roads.

He expressed frustration over the lack of accountability for the contractors in Mumbai and questioned when would the authorities act against them for their shoddy work, ANI reported.

"When will action be taken against the agency... when will action be taken against the contractors? The drain has not been cleaned, but the treasury has been cleaned," he added.

The Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) also voiced concern over the state of the city's rivers, citing that the Poisar and Mithi rivers are examples of environmental neglect.

"A photo of the Poisar River has come to light. The Mithi River is also unclean. The Municipal Corporation should hold a meeting in this regard before the monsoon," he urged.
