Mumbai Parties Protest Carnac Bridge Opening Delay
Imagine a new bridge in Mumbai that's finished, but not open to cars.
Two political parties, usually rivals, teamed up to protest.
They tried to open it, but the police stopped them.
One politician says the government is preventing the opening, even though the bridge is ready.
The bridge has been completed but pending clearances from the Central Railways.
The bridge cost a lot of money, and connects important areas in the city.
Sena UBT and MNS held a joint protest against the delayed opening of Carnac Bridge.
Protestors attempted to open the bridge but were detained by police.
Aaditya Thackeray stated the bridge is ready but the government has not opened it.
MNS vice-president said the structure has been ready for 10-15 days.
The new bridge, built at Rs 60 crore, connects Masjid and CSMT stations.
