The skid trap opposite Lucky Restaurant in Bandra West, where SV Road meets GR Varasakar Road, has finally been removed. Traffic cops in the area had previously told mid-day that on average, three accidents would occur daily due to the metal lid, which was placed to cover an underground water chamber plagued by multiple leakage issues. Following extensive coverage by mid-day that brought the issue to the notice of authorities, there finally seems to be relief for those passing the area.

A traffic police officer stationed at the Lucky Junction told mid-day, “The civic body finally took action a few days ago and removed the metal lid. Since then, we have seen no accidents happening on the road, compared to the three-to-five we used to see daily over the last 10 months.”
