Overview

• Villagers from Sasunghar and the Naigaon–Chinchoti–Vasai belt say they will rally at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar during the winter session if repairs and traffic fixes are not visible by then.
• More than 100 residents had earlier written to the prime minister seeking “permission to die by suicide,” a move they have now withdrawn after police counseling at the Naigaon station.
• NHAI’s project director attributes recent jams to a temporary ‘No Entry’ near Ghodbunder toll naka that forced trucks to park along NH-48, with restrictions since relaxed to ease flow.
• MBVV police acknowledged supervision gaps and shifted highway traffic management from the Chinchoti unit to the Vasai and Virar branches to improve monitoring.
• Locals report a 30-km Dahisar–Vasai stretch plagued by potholes and gridlock, and they demand reconstruction, separate lanes for heavy and light vehicles, compensation, and accountability for officials.
