A day after a truck loaded with hazardous chemicals overturned near Patlipada bridge in Ghodbunder Road of Thane District, the road is jam-packed again today (September 5). Commuters are getting late for offices and are urging authorities to restrict heavy vehicles. Some office-goers are leaving the buses in the middle of the roads and are exploring alternative routes or working from home.
The Thane-Borivali Ghobunder road traffic jam is also affecting the TMT bus services from Hiranandani and Brahmand to Thane. Many TMT buses are already trapped in the traffic, so only a few services are running until Thane station. People are waiting for TMT buses at the R-Mall bus stand.
