Complete darkness on a 1-km stretch of the New Link Road, between MG Road signal and Hypercity junction, reveals yet another instance of lack of planning and coordination on the part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Before starting the Dahisar-DN Nagar Metro construction work, the streetlights on the road’s divider were removed.
