Bhiwandi Flyover Accident: Motorcyclist Critical, Safety Debate Intensifies
A young man named Rohit Khairnar was riding his motorcycle on a big bridge called the Rajiv Gandhi Flyover in Bhiwandi.
Late at night, he lost control of his bike on a sharp turn and fell off the bridge.
He got very badly hurt and was taken to the hospital.
People are now arguing about whether the bridge is safe enough.
Some say the city should have put up safety walls to stop such accidents, while the city officials say people should just drive more carefully.
The city has spent a lot of money fixing and painting the bridge, but not on safety measures.
28-year-old Rohit Khairnar fell from the Rajiv Gandhi Flyover in Bhiwandi, suffering severe head injuries.
The accident occurred late Monday night when Khairnar lost control of his motorcycle on a sharp curve near Kalyan Naka.
Passersby rushed him to Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, where he was later referred to Thane Civil Hospital.
Civic activists blame the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation (BNMC) for not installing safety walls despite spending crores on repairs and painting.
BNMC officials attribute the accidents to over-speeding and advise motorcyclists to ride cautiously.
