The road stretch of SG Barve Marg where the accident occurred has been narrowed down due to debris dumped and illegal parking on one side of the road.  Work on the redevelopment of buildings along with widening of the road along the stretch has been going on after setbacks from the nearby buildings.

“Yes, several clusters of small houses and shops have been amalgamated and are being redeveloped into buildings, and the setback received from buildings is leading to the widening of the road, but there is too much debris and illegal vehicles lying there,” a local resident said.
