A video clip of a constable weeping inconsolably at a police station after supporters of a BJP leader allegedly misbehaved with him when he stopped their vehicle with a hooter on.

According to reports, the incident took place when some people, claiming to be relatives of a BJP MLA Ashutosh Shukla were stopped by the traffic constable for playing the hooter on their SUV which also had a BJP flag.

The traffic constable tried to take a photograph of the vehicle and at this, the occupants of the car lost their cool.

They lambasted the constable and threatened him with dire consequences.

They dragged him to the nearby police station where a panchayat was convened in the presence of the inspector.

Even in the police station, the MLA’s relatives flexed their muscles while the traffic constable wept inconsolably while narrating the manner in which he had been roughed up.

The other police personnel remained helpless spectators.

The video of the incident has now gone viral on social media, but none of the police officials were willing to comment on the incident.

Mumbai Civic: BMC Secures CRZ Clearance For Poisar River Bridge Reconstruction In Gorai Amid Local Opposition

Published

on

Mumbai: The BMC has received Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance for the reconstruction of a bridge over the Poisar River inlet in Gorai, located in the western suburbs. However, the proposed demolition of the existing 100-meter-long bridge has faced opposition from local residents, as it serves as the only direct access route between the Lower and Upper Koliwada areas.

The three-decade-old bridge, located within the CRZ buffer zone, has been deemed structurally unsafe following a recent audit. Civic authorities have announced its reconstruction at a cost of Rs 4 crore over the next two years.

The new bridge will be sturdier, featuring railings and light poles. However, local fisherfolk and residents have opposed the demolition, arguing that “High tide may isolate Koliwada, leading to a 700-meter beach road detour.”

Residents have voiced concern over the lack of clear information from civic authorities regarding temporary transport plans during the bridge demolition. With no contingency plan in place for high tide, when the coastal road may be submerged, locals are urging officials to consult with the fisherman community and establish a swift, reliable alternative route. They warn that without it, emergency services like ambulances and fire engines could face critical access challenges.

Medical treatment from well-known doctors is available in Mumbai as well. Medical papers attached alongwith are not that satisfactory.
