Days after a slippery iron sheet claimed the life of an 18-year-old pillion rider in Kurla, a 30-year-old man died after his scooter slipped on an uneven road, fixed with banned paver blocks outside Gandhi Market in Sion. He was crushed under a water tanker and died on the spot.

The BMC in 2019 banned the use of paver blocks in roads, but sources told mid-day that these can be used as a temporary fix for repairs. When asked why the paver blocks in Sion were not removed and the road concretised, a source said, "We will have to check that."
