The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has covered stormwater drain covers with tar, according to report in this paper. Motorists travelling on Dattaji Salvi Road, from the Andheri RTO signal to the Veera Desai Road signal, are expressing dissatisfaction over the bumpy ride, as the tarred sections are above the road level.

At least 37 stormwater drains have been covered with tar poured in rectangular shapes over them. These tar-covered surfaces are not level with the cement concrete road.
