Activists are up in arms against the civic body's plan to replace medians between Bandra and Santacruz on Linking Road at a cost of Rs 1.73 crore. Locals and activists claim that the dividers along Linking Road are fine and do not need replacing or repair.

A report in this paper cites an activist and resident saying that dividers on that stretch are in good condition and replacing them will only entail digging up a perfectly good road. The BMC has floated a R1.73-crore tender to replace the median barriers on Linking Road from Bandra to Santacruz. The officials claim that they want dividers to be of uniform height, as that will make them look good.
