The damage was visible from the Bhakti-Shakti Chowk in Nigdi to the Chinchwad Railway Station Chowk. The road was damaged due to ongoing Metro construction. But after media reports and residents’ complaints, asphalting is being done on the road, which will make it pothole-free.

The Free Press Journal (FPJ) had covered this issue multiple times. Residents’ outrage and updates on the authorities’ decisions were repeatedly reported by FPJ.
