In Mumbai, a group of local residents and Congress party workers staged a protest at the site of three newly constructed bridges, which remain closed to the public. Frustrated by the lack of access to the completed infrastructure, the group arrived at the scene with a crane, intending to dismantle the barricades and open the bridges for traffic themselves. The situation escalated into a confrontation, but the action was ultimately prevented by local police who intervened to stop the group from removing the barriers.

The incident highlights growing public impatience regarding the timeline for opening these key transit points. While the bridges appear structurally complete, authorities have yet to grant official permission for their use, leading to accusations of bureaucratic stalling. The police presence ensured that the barricades remained in place, and no further attempts to breach the site were reported following the initial standoff. As of now, the bridges remain closed, and there has been no official statement from the municipal authorities regarding a specific date for the public opening or an explanation for the current delay. The protest underscores a broader tension between citizens demanding immediate utility from public works and the administrative processes that govern their official inauguration.
