DL Shinde, Deputy Municipal Commissioner (Engineering) and former Chief Engineer (Roads) said, "Due to vacations, the road will have less traffic." Officials say this period is perfect to carry out work as elections are over, schools are closed and many people would have left Mumbai to beat the heat.
There was a hue and cry from Peddar Road residents when BMC started work on March 30. Within few hours, work halted. The dug portion was leveled within a week and used by political parties for campaigning.
In the meantime, the Mahanagar Gas Ltd has also started laying a line through Peddar Road as part of its expansion project to supply cooking gas to Tardeo, Peddar Road, Marine Lines, Cuffe Parade, Mantralaya and Colaba.
