A walk along one of the city’s busiest stretches reveals broken footpaths, potholes, open manholes; commuters worry about situation after rains
The recent death of a man after falling in a manhole in Mumbai has once again turned the spotlight on the dangers of open holes in the ground.
The risk is compounded during monsoon when these holes fill up with water and can be a serious threat to pedestrians and commuters alike. However, despite the monsoon already here, many manholes and cavities on footpaths in the city continue to remain uncovered. Take the example of SG Highway which not only has potholes but also open manholes and broken footpaths.
The stretch from Vivanta Hotel to Palladium Mall, the Nexa Showroom, Bhavishi Eye Hospital, Kargil Petrol Pump and Veritas has footpaths, either broken or with holes and pits.
