Following mid-day’s report highlighting how a panel of the vision barrier on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) — popularly known as the Atal Setu — had been damaged, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has begun repair work.

Sources from the MMRDA confirmed that the contractor has started repair and maintenance work on the vision barriers of Atal Setu. The damaged panel is also being fixed.

On Friday, Mumbai-based photojournalist Pradeep Dhivar, who was travelling to Pune via the sea bridge, captured images showing workers carrying out repairs and maintenance on the vision barriers. Road repair work on certain sections of the bridge is also underway.
