In an effort to fight the traffic jams at Dahisar toll plaza, the Road March initiative for encroachment-free roads has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and other public representatives for a solution. At any given hour of the day, one can find long lines of cars on either side of the toll naka, with people having to spend 20-30 minutes on a 200-metre stretch.

Lakhs of people from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Gujarat cross the toll naka. The letter has also been sent to the state’s chief secretary, Mumbai and Mira-Bhayandar’s municipal commissioners and mayors, MMRDA and MSRDC, among others.
