The closure of the Gokhale Bridge in Mumbai for repairs led to utter chaos in traffic management Monday. The Andheri subway as well as the railway flyover near Vile Parle saw heavy congestion due to the closure of the bridge which connects Andheri (East) with Andheri (West).
“Traffic police personnel are nowhere to be seen to effectively manage the traffic. The hawkers below the Andheri Metro station, who are squatting on the busy road, have compounded the problem,” alleged advocate Godfrey Pimenta, a resident and a well-known city activist who runs the NGO Watchdog Foundation.
