In order to prevent road accidents during the monsoon season, emergency digging has been banned on the roads of Mumbai for the next four months. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner (BMC) Dr. Iqbal Chahal and municipal administration have given such orders to the relevant agencies since May 15.
Even in case of emergency, if digging is to be done on a road, the permission of the municipality has to be taken for it. The ban on digging is going to be till this year September. Commissioner Chahal has given instructions to all agencies not to allow any digging on the roads in Mumbai city and suburbs.
If the road has been dug up during the rainy season and there is water in it, it is not immediately noticeable to drivers or pedestrians. There is a possibility of accidents. Municipal commissioner has decided to ban this road digging only to prevent such accidents.
Interestingly, more than 5000 works are going on in Mumbai through various authorities. These works worth INR 6 thousand crores are in progress.
