Tensions surged in Mumbai as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) took action against Shiv Sena leader and Worli MLA Aaditya Thackeray following his unapproved inauguration of the second carriageway of Delisle Bridge in Lower Parel.
The BMC filed a formal police complaint against Thackeray at the NM Joshi Marg police station, citing the unauthorized nature of the bridge’s opening to the public. Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal confirmed the filing of the complaint, highlighting the civic body’s discontent with Thackeray’s declaration of the bridge being ‘open’ for public use.
The incident occurred when Thackeray, in a bold move, walked across the incomplete Delisle Road bridge, declaring it accessible to the public on November 16. This act sparked controversy and legal repercussions, leading to the BMC’s swift response in filing a police complaint against the Shiv Sena leader for inaugurating the bridge without official authorization.
The action taken by the BMC has amplified the ongoing discourse surrounding infrastructural developments and political interventions in Mumbai. The unauthorized inauguration has triggered debates on procedural adherence and the role of public figures in expediting infrastructure projects.
As the situation unfolds, the legal ramifications and the response from Aaditya Thackeray and the Shiv Sena remain awaited, further intensifying the spotlight on the intersection between politics, civic responsibilities, and infrastructural development in the city.
