Mumbai: A post went viral on social media when an X user compared the two views of Mumbai roads. The post was made by the account (@RoadsOfMumbai) via X on Friday. In the post, the user shared two pictures of an under-construction road and referred to it as a Mumbai road. The user highlighted the quality of the roads in the city and the infrastructure of the city.
The user criticised the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and mocking that they see "gold" in the roads just because they began the construction in Mumbai. Some other users claimed that the pictures were AI-generated.
In an X post the user stated, "Roads as per citizens V/S Roads as per BMC"
The post quickly sparked a wave of reactions on X, with Mumbai residents highlighting the poor quality of the roads. Many expressed frustration over the ongoing construction work, especially the disruptions caused by roads being dug up in the middle of the city, which has been causing problems for residents.
Netizens React
Many netizens responded to the post. One user commented, "TMC ko bhi blame kiya karo, woh bhi doodh ke dhule nahi," stating that both BMC and TMC are the same. In comparison to BMC, another user said, "BMC se 100 guna acha hai TMC."
Some users made jokes about BMC, with one saying, "BMC is the real gold digger." Meanwhile, another user pointed out the second image, saying, "At first, I thought they found so much gold while digging, but looking closely, it’s an AI image."
In Mumbai, several roads are under construction as part of the city's development. However, this construction often leads to narrower roads, causing traffic jams and other issues for residents. In addition to roadwork, many Mumbai railway station platforms are also under construction to improve their facilities. While these developments aim to enhance the city's infrastructure, they have created significant challenges for daily commuters and residents due to the ongoing construction and resulting congestion.
