Navi Mumbai Jetty Gets Barricades After Recent Accidents
Imagine a road that looks like it leads to a bridge, but it actually ends at the water.
Some people have accidentally driven off this road into the water at a place called Dhruvatara jetty.
Recently, a person on a two-wheeler died, and a car also fell in, but the driver survived.
The police put up barricades to stop cars and bikes from going off the edge.
The road is a shortcut, and it tricks drivers.
The authorities are also thinking about closing the road completely to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Barricades installed at Dhruvatara jetty after two accidents.
A two-wheeler rider died after vehicle plunged into Belapur creek.
In July, a car fell into the creek at the same location.
Shortcut road confuses drivers, leading them to the jetty.
Permanent closure of the approach road is under consideration.
