A forced downtime due to the Coronavirus has not stopped two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) representatives from engaging in a verbal duel. Both had put up posters near the Marine Drive claiming credit for expediting repairs to the Foot Over Bridge (FOB) linking Marine Lines station's Metro side to the University Sports Stadium side and Marine Drive.

Colaba MLA Rahul Narwekar and BJP's Raj Purohit have begun a battle of banners in the SoBo area. Narwekar's posters read: Because of Rahul Narwekar's efforts, work on the foot over bridge (FOB) near Hindi Vidya Bhavan School is proceeding in a smooth manner. The bridge is expected to open on April 15. A big picture of Narwekar accompanies the text on the banner.
