The ongoing Maratha Morcha has brought cargo movement across Maharashtra to a grinding halt. With all major connectivity routes to South Mumbai – including Atal Setu, Navi Mumbai routes, Panvel, and the Eastern Freeway – completely shut for heavy vehicles and ODC consignments, cargo and other stuff which was meant to be shipped has been halted, reported ANI.
The All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) issued a statement saying that the services had been severely disturbed on Monday.
