Thane: The poor state of city roads are one of the major reasons behind road accidents. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), a woman slammed the Thane Municipal Corporation and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority over the poor state of the Patlipada Flyover in Thane. It is to be noted that the woman had first mentioned Waghbil bridge but then said in a clarification post after she was corrected by an X user that the post she shared was of Patlipada bridge.
However, going by the comments on the Waghbil bridge, it seems like the condition of that bridge is precarious too.

Sneha, an X user and an activist from Thane, as per her profile information, shared pictures of the Patlipada flyover on her account and termed it as the most dangerous flyover for motorists in Thane. One can see uneven an concretised road with motorists and bikers plying carefully in the picture.
"Dear @TMCaTweetAway @MMRDAOfficial you both made Patlipada Flyover the most dangerous Flyover for Motorists in Thane. See the dangerous uneven roads here ! Shame on you both for playing with lives of Thane Citizens," read the caption of Sneha's post on X.
Her concerns were voiced by fellow X users who reacted and commented on her post joining her in criticising the civic officials. "This since long time, thane is village for @TMCaTweetAway and authorities," said a user.
"Worst road award goes to Waghbil flyover," commented another X user.
Claiming negligence by civic authorities since many years, a user commented, "Its uneven ! i am seeing it since 3 years back , no one is bothered ! where are the respective authorities ? why we need to awake them for every small small issues ! can't they be proactive ? doesn't they collect taxes & development charges , where the money goes ?"
"Just another month & monsoon season starts. Most of Thane is still dug up. Another year of accidents & deaths loom large for public. God bless us. Govt failed us," said a user raising concern about the matter.
