There is good news for the locals staying in eastern suburbs and along the Jogeshwari-Vikroli Link Road near Gandhi Nagar junction which has been witnessing a problem of traffic jams and uneven road surface due to metro construction work as BJP MP from the area Manoj Kotak has organised a meeting of local residents with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority(MMRDA) officials who have promised to look into the problems so that commuters don't have to face any problem.

It may be noted that at present the construction of Lokhandwala-Jogeshwari-Vikhroli-Kanjurmarg metro line 6 and Wadala Thane Kasarvadavli metro line 4 is going on in full swing. Metro line 6 that passes via the JVLR and section of metro line 4 that passes via LBS marg will intersect each other at the famous Gandhi Nagar junction in Vikroli. Due to the ongoing metro work, the local residents staying in the area and motorists passing via Gandhi Nagar junction have been facing a lot of issues like a traffic jam as the section of road are barricaded for metro work leading to traffic chaos during morning and evening peak hours.
