Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mumbai on Sunday saw a spin-off that will benefit commuters in the city. The Western Express Highway (WEH) is now pothole-free and smoothly levelled.

Just a day before the PM’s visit to Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), the authorities fixed the complete stretch of the highway from Mumbai Airport’s domestic terminal till the Kalanagar flyover. According to a report in this paper, the Public Works Department (PWD) stated that they had worked through the night for two days. A PWD spokesperson admitted that they have to spruce up roads and address potholes each time a VVIP visit is planned.
