Mid-Day visited the D N Nagar Municipal School road and found fresh cracks in several places, which raised concerns over construction quality

Local shopkeepers also expressed their concerns by stating the roads containing cracks were constructed just four or five months ago. Apart from cracks, the roads have been developed in such a way that the local people could experience water logging issues during the monsoon season

The reason for developing cracks on the newly-constructed roads could be improper curing process or the roads not being constructed properly in the first place

During the monsoon season, Mumbaikars witness huge potholes on the roads, which turn out to be a nightmare for the bike riders. The Mumbaikars experiencing cracks on their newly-constructed roads is not a new thing for the pedestrians and commuters

Filmmaker and activist Ashoke Pandit, chairman of the Gulmohar Area Society’s, said, “The CC work on A B Nair Road near Juhu Post Office was done just a few months ago, even though the road was already in good condition. This road connects Juhu Beach with the Juhu Scheme, yet cracks are already visible. Who is accountable for this shoddy work—the BMC or the contractor? Mumbai residents are being taken for a ride. Roads across the city have been dug up, but work remains incomplete,” Pandit said
