While the BMC diligently looks after the maintenance of the Western and Eastern Express Highways, two arterial roads used by thousands of motorists, Aaditya Thackeray, former minister and Shiv Sena leader, has addressed a letter to the municipal commissioner, urging the scrapping of toll plazas at five entry points to Mumbai.

In his letter, Aaditya emphasised that despite the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation taking over the maintenance of the Western and Eastern Express Highways from the MMRDA, there has been no significant improvement in the upkeep of these crucial roads.
