Following Mid-Day's report on chaotic roadwork in Borivli's Chikuwadi, Mumbaikars voiced their concerns on social media

"It’s rampant mindless digging, there seems to be no planning, pedestrians, two wheelers, 4 wheelers including emergency services like fire brigade and ambulance movements have been risked," said Daljit while sharing pictures from Malad West on X. (Pic/ X @daljit67231)

"There is no accountability. This is in @mybmcWardPN Jankalyan Nagar Malad West," the Mumbaikar added. (Pic/ X @daljit67231)

QRTing a post by user @mumbaiwalking on X, @CratersOfMumbai said "@VVVispute H-Ward Assistant Commissioner issues no intimation to residents before carrying out significant excavation that is left OPEN without any barricades whatsoever as a population control measure. @mybmcWardHW pathetic job."

"This is the mayhem caused at Bhoomi Park rd Malad West!! This is the 3rd time they’re doing cement concreting on this stretch in last 1yr & also allowing cars to be parked on the narrow road! @mybmcWardPN @mybmc @mybmcRoads," said Pratik while tagging the civic body. (Pic/ X @superselector5)

"This stretch of internal rd next to MG rd Goregaon near Ratna Hotel SV rd was dug up exactly 6 months back & now again it’s been dug up ! I really do not understand what @mybmc @mybmcRoads is searching for deep inside these roads!! Relaying & recarpeting again & again!" Pratik said in another post on X. (Pic/ X @superselector5)

Reacting to Mid-day's report on X (formerly Twitter), Chandivali Citizens Welfare Association shared a video and said, "Chan Dp road 9, Powai. No barricades installed as per the contract." (Pic/ X @ChandivaliCCWA)

The association added that "Contractors are liable for a penalty of Rs. 5 lakhs on first instance and Rs. 10 lakh from second instance onwards." (Pic/ X @ChandivaliCCWA)

"Somebody plz do look at the financial hub as well. The central road is also now closed and dug up for concrete work," said one user wanting to draw attention towards BKC to WEH. The user said, "BKC to WEH is a complete mess - coming from bkc the earlier u turn to connect toWEH via BKC metro is shut - Right turn from jio drive to connect same as above is closed - the back road via UTI bldg is completely jammed especially near Bandra colony metro (Kanakia Paris). The U-turn near family  court and right turn from Jio drive must be opened for easier flow of traffic @RoadsOfMumbai @MTPHereToHelp" (Graphic/ X @vinitbhavi)
