While both BJP and Congress have put up banners in Malad claiming credit for the completion and opening of Mith Chowki flyover, questions arise about whether BMC rushed its opening. During our visit, we noticed a visible opening in the retaining wall from the road below. Additionally, residents of the Daulat Nagar Association expressed frustration that, despite numerous reminders, the BMC did not make a pedestrian crossing under the bridge, making it difficult for locals to safely cross the road.

After the bridge opened, this correspondent took a ride across it and observed that the retaining walls had been painted and streetlights were installed. However, when traveling beneath the bridge from Malvani toward the Mith Chowky signal, we noticed that several sections still needed painting. Additionally, it was concerning to find a visible gap between two sections of the retaining wall, which had not been sealed.
