A deadly speed breaker built on the Gorai Jetty road 15 days ago claimed the life of the youth who died on Monday, said the locals. The contractor, who ignored numerous complaints from the locals, removed it only after the fatal accident. They blame the BMC as well for ignoring their complaints.

The 2-km stretch from Gorai Jetty to T-Junction was built four months back, and mid-day in July highlighted  locals’ concerns about the slipperiness of the road. Hundreds of vehicles have skid on the road since. According to police records, on an average 1-2 vehicles skid on this stretch daily.
