At this junction, which is formed by a total of 8 roads, small and big accidents are constantly happening every day. Locals have repeatedly demanded fly overs to control accidents. But it has been ignored by the administration till date. The junction has been inspected many times at the government level, but nothing has come out of it. Also no signal was installed at the junction. Due to this, accidents are happening continuously.
At this time, the residents of Sameer Malgaonkar, Pramod Korgaonkar, Rajan Korgaonkar, Sayantania Dimelo, who have gathered here and are constantly traveling through this road, expressed their reaction. Therefore, even though the signal is necessary here, the government does not pay attention to it. Despite the need for a flyover on this highway, it is being ignored. The lights on the electricity poles here are not lit at night. Therefore, the kingdom of darkness is spread in this area at night. There are electricity poles here but they are ornamental. He expressed his regret.
