Relaying of a main water pipe on Senapati Bapat Road has got the locality’s residents up in arms, as they are enduring chaotic traffic snarls for the last four days due to the digging of the road. The PMC intends to replace the old water pipeline with new ones, and has hence restarted excavation work, which was stopped in June due to the onset of the monsoons.u00a0

Chock-A-Block: Residents complained that the digging is leading to ugly traffic jams in the area, which is affecting their daily commute. Four months ago, in June, the same work of laying down the pipeline was taken up for which at least 25 trees had been cut despite a High Court ban. Pic/Krunal Gosavi
