Bhiwandi, Aug 23: A doctor lost his life after his two-wheeler skidded on a pothole near Vanjarpatti Naka in Bhiwandi city on Friday night, triggering widespread outrage over poor road conditions.
The victim, Dr. Naseem Ansari, was returning home on his Activa scooter when the vehicle lost balance due to potholes. He fell onto the road and was crushed by the rear tyre of a passing truck, dying on the spot.
The road, currently used by heavy vehicles owing to repair work on the APJ Abdul Kalam Flyover, has become particularly dangerous. With traffic diverted from the flyover, the movement of trucks and other heavy vehicles on the pothole-ridden road has heightened accident risks.
Residents expressed strong anger against the municipal authorities, protesting the administration’s negligence and demanding urgent action to repair the road.
