Mumbai Parsis Seek Highway Improvements from CM
The Parsi community in Mumbai wants the government to fix the NH48 highway.
This is the road to their holy place in Gujarat, and they say it's dangerous.
The road is in bad shape with too much traffic, and it's taking a long time to travel.
They've asked government officials to enforce safety rules and make the road better because they are afraid.
Some Parsis are choosing not to travel because of the unsafe conditions.
Mumbai Parsis appealed to CM Fadnavis for NH48 improvements.
The road links Mumbai to the Iranshah Shrine in Udvada.
The Bombay Parsi Punchayet wrote to Nitin Gadkari about road conditions.
Poor road conditions and heavy traffic make travel difficult.
Community members are concerned about dangerous driving conditions.
