Potholed roads in the city have led to protests from one more quarter. Mumbai school bus operators have threatened to stop plying their vehicles if roads in the city and suburbs are not made motorable as ferrying children has become riskier due to the poor condition of streets.

“If potholes are not repaired on major arterial roads within a week, we, the school bus owners, will be forced to take a decision to stop the operation of buses for the time being. We will take a final decision in this regard this week,” said Anil Garg, president, School Bus Owners’ Association (SBOA), Maharashtra.
