BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani has ordered the road department as well as all ward offices to not undertake any new road digging work that cannot be completed by May-end. Currently, 433 km of roads with 1,173 patches across the city are being concreted. After getting continuous complaints about dug-up roads, last week Gagrani held a meeting with senior officials. At this meeting, Gagrani also directed officials to visit road concreting sites regularly. 

On Tuesday, Deputy Municipal Commissioner of Infrastructure sent out an internal order stating, “It has been directed that no new road shall be excavated for concreting and it is strictly instructed that all such road work and allied work shall be completed on or before May 31,2025 to prevent inconvenience to commuters and the public in large”. BMC officials claim that they will complete road concreting work by May end.
