Malad News: Malwani Evershine Kaccha Road Bridge Issue Escalates: Local NGO Stages Indefinite Hunger Strike, Residents support for Reopening to Bikers
Malwani, Malad West, Mumbai – Tensions have risen in the Malwani area as a local NGO, supported by residents, has launched an indefinite hunger strike demanding the reopening of the Kaccha Road Bridge for bikers. The bridge, a crucial transit point for the community, has been closed to two-wheelers, causing significant inconvenience to daily commuters.
The protest, spearheaded by the NGO, has gained momentum with a growing number of local residents joining the demonstration. Protesters argue that the closure has forced bikers to take longer, alternative routes, leading to increased travel time and safety concerns. They claim that the decision to restrict access to the bridge has not been adequately justified by authorities.
“We are left with no choice but to resort to an indefinite hunger strike. The bridge is a lifeline for us, and its closure has disrupted our daily lives. We demand that the authorities reopen it for bikers immediately,” said a representative of the NGO.
Local residents echoed these sentiments, expressing frustration over the lack of communication from officials regarding the bridge’s closure. “This bridge has been in use for years, and its sudden restriction has caused unnecessary hardships. We stand united in our demand for its reopening,” said a Malwani resident participating in the protest.
As the hunger strike enters its second day, the situation remains tense, with protesters vowing to continue their agitation until their demands are met. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement addressing the concerns raised by the community.
The Malwani Evershine Kaccha Road Bridge issue highlights the growing disconnect between local governance and community needs, underscoring the urgency for dialogue and resolution. Residents hope that their collective action will prompt authorities to reconsider the decision and restore access to the bridge for bikers.
