A biker in his late 20s died after his two-wheeler rammed into a bus at Aarey Milk Colony in Goregaon East on February 8. Locals, who have been demanding that traffic calming devices be installed on the newly made cement concrete main road, said the incident underscores the need for speed breakers and speed restrictions.

Laxman Jadhav, a friend of the deceased, said, “On Saturday, my friend Arun Kavandar, was going to Goregaon to collect documents but on the way, he realised that he had forgotten to take a document, so he took a turn on the main road and, while overtaking a vehicle, his bike hit a bus coming from the opposite direction. The unfortunate incident highlights the need for speed restrictions as well as speed breakers.”
