In some great news for Bandra residents, at the very beginning of the year, the BMC has started the process of converting paver block roads into an all-tar ones between SV Road and Linking Road junction in Bandra. The move follows months of complaints by locals about the dismal state of the roads, which are more prone to potholes and, consequently, accidents, during the monsoon.
