The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) launched a demolition drive on Swami Vivekanand (SV) Road, targeting traffic bottlenecks. Specifically, the P-North ward of BMC has taken action to clear four major bottlenecks between Goregaon and Kandivali.
As part of this effort, 39 structures were removed from Chincholi Phatak, Dargah junction and Underai junction in Malad. The demolition of these structures will enable the widening of SV Road to 90 feet.
So far 253 structures responsible for causing traffic bottlenecks have been cleared along SV Road. Additional structures, numbering 76 in total, are slated for demolition in the near future.
This recent demolition drive follows earlier actions by the BMC, including the removal of the 100-year-old Jugal Kishore building on SV Road, which was constructed in 1923.
