It-s the same road story across the city and suburbs, with a new problem seeming to have cropped up recently. Despite the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation BMC completely stopping the use of paver blocks to fill potholes on its arterial roads, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation MSRDC has gone ahead and used them to fill craters on flyovers in Thane. mid-day also found MMRDA using paver blocks to fill potholes on the Western Express Highway.

MSRDC has been using paver blocks to fill potholes on bridges/flyovers in Thane that were constructed only five to six years ago. Upon visiting the site, mid-day also found that the paver blocks were not fixed uniformly, thus ruining the entire stretch of road and making it worse for commuters to drive/ride on these roads.
