00:00Peaceful night says Breach Candy are back. Thank you to BMC.
00:04The Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation, BMC, has temporarily predicated the Jai Ho musical road
00:09along the Mumbai's coastal road's Breach Candy stretch.
00:12Well, you remember this road.
00:13I just didn't want to hear that Jai Ho, Jai Ho all the time in my ears.
00:17And how the residents had complained.
00:18We have complained around 650 signatures we got. We have sent the letters to the BMC.
00:24In their letter, residents said the initiative caused significant distress,
00:27served no essential public purpose, and that the constant frequency of the tune
00:31was especially disturbing for the elderly.
00:34We have to keep the windows shut all the time. This is so close to my house.
00:39Built at a cost of 6.21 crore rupees, the 500 metre stretch plays Jai Ho
00:43when vehicles drive at 70 to 80 km per hour, meant to nudge drivers towards maintaining
00:48a steady, safer speed.
00:50Inaugurated on February 12th, the project quickly ran into backlash.
00:53Now, just over a month later, the BMC has restricted access to the stretch from 7pm to 11am daily
00:59after hundreds of complaints over noise pollution and sleep disruption caused by the rumble strips.
01:04Thank you to BMC for listening to our problem and solving it by putting the barricades on the
01:11coastal road for 500 metres stretch. Finally, all are happy at Breeshkani.
01:17Meanwhile, Rahul Shivale, the Shiv Sena leader who proposed the idea, says this is only a temporary fix.
01:22Authorities are now in talks with the developers Roots Worldwide India in collaboration with
01:26Hungary-based UTKOP ROK feed to find a more permanent solution.
