• Metro barricades are left open, badly placed or are…— Aaditya Thackeray (@AUThackeray) July 30, 2023
The Sena leader pointed out that the Metro barricades were left open badly in some places or had fallen, causing traffic jams and endangering the lives of pedestrians.
"Don't let your contractors ruin my city for its profits and bad management," the former minister said.
Thackeray said during the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, he had held meetings with MMRDA officials to ensure that the Metro barricades were not badly placed and were removed in places where the work was not happening.
