Bikers have stated that a spot under the flyover of the Eastern Express Highway section near the Bhandup pumping junction is often slick with a murky liquid, claiming two-wheeler riders slip and fall while executing U-turns at the spot. Riders allege that the situation has been prevalent for years, and is an issue of keeping the roads clean rather than a road infrastructure problem.

Salahuddin Shaik, a two- wheeler rider and Bhandup resident, said, “We have been seeing many accidents here. Watery waste from garbage trucks leaks onto the road, and this mixes with dirt to create a slippery layer that causes accidents.”
