In April last year, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan inaugurated the 6 km-long cycling track in BKC built by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), worth Rs 1.05 crore per km. Last week, Mayor Sunil Prabhu inaugurated the Brihanmumbai Mahanagar Palika’s (BMC) 0.6 km-long cycling track worth Rs 3 lakh per kilometre at Andheri Sports Complex.

Today, no one uses the expensive Andheri cycling track, while the MMRDA’s track is full of uneven surfaces, open manholes and pools of accumulated water.
