After nearly nine years of inconvenience caused by diversions during Metro construction, BEST bus services are finally returning to Girgaon’s Jagannath Shankarsheth (JSS) Road. This follows a report in mid-day, and residents have thanked the newspaper for giving this gift ahead of Ganeshotsav.

"We thank mid-day and BEST Committee chairperson Trushna Vishwasrao for restoring the buses after nine long years. Many of them have been restored partially as of now, as the traffic police is yet to solve the issue of water tanker parking and clear the roads. Also, there are Ganpati festival restrictions in place as of now. After the festival, we will push for complete restoration of bus routes,” long-time resident and former corporator Dilip Naik, who has been spearheading the battle for buses, told mid-day.
