Nagpada junction to get 20 m flag pole

A 20-meter flag pole and congestion-free Nagpada junction is on its way. According to sources the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recently approved a complete makeover of the junction that is famous for its congestion. The Nagpada Junction is one of the oldest junction in the city. Currently it is a traffic nightmare, where commuters get stuck for a long time. 

The local corporator Rais Shaikh, along with architects came up with a plan to redesign the area and give it a new look. Shaikh said "We will have a landscaping for the area done so that no one encroaches the area again and there is a smooth flow of traffic," said Shaikh.

According to Shaikh, the municipal commissioner recently gave the proposal an administrative consent and the work may start soon on the junction.

The junction will have a small garden that can be used by the locals. "We are also planning to have a flag pole as huge as 20 meters. This flag pole will hoist the flag throughout the year. There are certain things like proper lighting and other regulations to be followed for the flag to be hoisted day and night, all of that is being worked out and will be followed," added Shaikh.

Shaikh claims that the makeover of the junction will help the locals have a beautiful place and also solve traffic and other problems like illegal parking in the area near the junction. Already that issue has been talked about and action on illegal parking has been taken on several occasions.
