00:00Hello viewers, this is Gaurang Gadam for Lokmat Times and we are again facing the same problem

00:05as Mumbaikers face in every year for every rainy season and that are the potholes and the craters

00:10on Mumbai's most important roads. I am currently standing on the Vakola Bridge on which craters

00:16and potholes have been a huge issue for everyone and commuters are facing huge problems. As we can

00:22see, the traffic over here has also been slow moving due to the potholes and craters over here.

00:27As you can see, there's a big pothole in the middle of this road and as we can see, this road has been

00:33an important joint for people traveling towards the Mumbai International Airport and people who

00:39want to travel to the south of Mumbai from the suburbs. And while traveling, when commuters

00:44face such a bad condition of the road, it's very important for all the municipal corporation and

00:49the officers to prepare the roads as we want because as taxpayers, we are always expecting

00:56good amount of respect for our money in which the roads are also an important aspect.

01:01So, before we started the live coverage, we could also see the entire VIP moment of Union

01:06Minister Mr. Amit Shah. And I hope VIP moments come and go but what is required for the generic

01:13people is the good condition of roads. The entire Mumbai have been facing a huge issue of potholes

01:20and craters. While we pay our taxes, why can't we get good amount of roads and the situation

01:25currently is that we are expecting good amount of roads in Mumbai. As we are going ahead towards

01:30the Mumbai's monsoon, our request towards the Mumbai BMC is only one that please get these roads done as

01:37soon as possible because people every day can get huge injuries or some may also lose their lives.

01:44As you can also see in the visuals, there have been huge potholes all throughout this bridge and while

01:49we talk about it, people always go from here or people come and the potholes and the craters

01:55which have been made on this road are very deadly. So, my only appeal to the municipal commissioner is

02:00let's get this road fixed until and unless or before someone loses their life. Thank you.
