PM Modi inaugurated Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu in Navi Mumbai on January 12. The bridge was build with an objective to providing expeditious connectivity to Mumbai International Airport, and Navi Mumbai International Airport.
After 2-3 days of the inauguration ceremony, videos of people breaking traffic rules started surfacing on social media. While some can be seen parking their vehicles on the side of the bridge and clicking selfies, others can be seen littering on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL).
One user said, ”Sad. Need to respect all our public infrastructure. Considering the whole stretch is covered by CCTV, the culprits need to be exposed.”
Another commented, ”The government can only build new infrastructure Maintenance is the duty of the citizens Which unfortunately is not in the genes of Indians.”
A third said, ”Should penalise all these people who are stopping halting cars on MTHL.” A fourth added, ”I think we as a society don’t deserve these amenities. Everyone shows how good the infrastructure is overseas but when we try to build one we just don’t respect it. Shame on us as a society.”
