A day after closing the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in Andheri for carrying out much-needed demolition and reconstruction work, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started work on multiple levels at war-footing to ensure there is no hindrance in traffic movement on the available alternate routes in Mumbai.
Gokhale Bridge is a primary connector that connects east and west Andheri, and following the closure of this bridge, BMC has started taking action against hawkers and encroachers in a bid to open up the road to allow smooth traffic movement.
BMC’s action comes after the Mumbai Police’s Traffic Department urged the civic body to take action against hawkers.
