Gadkari delayed by Mumbai traffic by nearly an hour, pitches new technology to replace ageing flyovers
Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said he was held up by Mumbai traffic for nearly an hour, joking that he was “paying for my mistake” referring to flyovers built when he was Maharashtra’s public works minister in the 1990s. He used the delay to advocate a new technology aimed at replacing ageing flyovers with faster, cost‑effective structures.
