The BEST undertaking on Tuesday morning took the help of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the city police to clear all the hawkers affecting the operation of its buses at Dadar west station. The action follows mid-day’s front-page report, ‘Hawkers ate our bus route: BEST’ on Tuesday which stated how for the first time, the BEST undertaking on its official social media account, had admitted that it temporarily curtailed a route due to proliferation of hawkers. 

Today, M C Jawale Road at Dadar west outside railway station has been cleared for all bus operations and the bus route A-118 from Dadar station to Worli is operating from its regular originating point. The BMC and police were asked to clear the hawkers crowd to ensure that the bus operates from the origin point,” BEST spokesperson Manoj Varade said on Tuesday.
