Bikers negotiating Bhandup regularly flagged a slippery stretch beneath the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) flyover. The bikers claimed that leaking waste and oil from trucks have caused frequent two-wheeler accidents. Bikers have pointed to a spot near the Bhandup pumping junction, which is often slick with a murky liquid. This, they say, is the cause of two-wheeler riders slipping and falling while taking U-turns at the spot.

In our report, a biker has been quoted as saying that there have been many accidents. Watery waste from garbage trucks leaks and mixes with dirt. The result is a slick layer that leads to accidents. Riders are wary that once the monsoon is here in all its fury, the problem will be compounded.
