A recent joint drive by the Amboli police, traffic police, and the  BMC has brought considerable relief to Andheri West residents, with three chronically congested roads finally cleared of illegal obstructions.

Sawant Road, Veera Desai Road, and Duttaji Salvi Road, which routinely witnessed severe traffic snarls, were freed of illegal hawkers, abandoned vehicles and unauthorised parking of dumpers, tankers, and JCB machines. As a result, commute time on these stretches has dropped sharply from nearly 25 minutes to about 10 minutes now.
