Dada Bhuse directs officials to immediately fill potholes on Mumbai-Nashik highway

To prevent traffic jams and accidents, Maharashtra PWD Minister Dada Bhuse has directed officials to patch potholes on the Mumbai-Nashik highway segment right away. Additionally, he advocated for the appointment of wardens to assist the police and urged coordination between various authorities.

Notably, at least six persons were killed and as many injured in a collision between a container truck and an SUV on the highway on Tuesday.

Bhuse, who belongs to Shiv Sena (UBT), inspected the ongoing work on the Vadpe-Thane section of the highway on Tuesday and suggested various measures to avoid traffic jams, as per an official release.
    
The minister took stock of the eight-layer concreting work of the Vadape-Thane asphalt road. He said Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDA) should provide traffic wardens to help the police.

Potholes on roads should be filled immediately. If a vehicle is stuck on the road it should be removed immediately to avoid traffic jams, the minister added.
