A recent survey of the Mumbai-Nashik highway has identified warehouses in Bhiwandi and heavy vehicle traffic as key contributors to potholes and congestion, prompting state officials to devise a resolution to improve conditions. The 23km stretch sees around 150,000 vehicles daily, and MLA Rais Shaikh has called for a toll waiver until the issues are resolved. In Ahmedabad, a surge in patients with back pain due to the city's pothole-ridden roads has overwhelmed the orthopaedic department at Civil Hospital, exacerbated by heavy rains that have worsened road conditions. The Indian Meteorological Department warns of continued rainfall, leading to further hazards for commuters. Additionally, the National Highways Authority of India is under scrutiny for the poor maintenance of the Nashik-Mumbai highway, which has seen over 1,500 potholes develop since the monsoon began. Efforts are underway by local authorities and traffic police to address these issues and improve traffic flow in affected areas.
