Tunnel power cables are cut, BMC files FIR

This has occurred thrice in the last two months, and even last year. However, the problem still persists leaving commuters at peril. The twin tunnels are located on Chembur-end of the Freeway that starts at PD’ Mello Road.
Shriniwas Kilje, Assistant Municipal Commissioner of M-East ward, said, “Electric supply was normal a few days ago, however, there have been instances wherein anti-social elements from the area stole the cables that supply electricity to the tunnels. This time, we found cables burnt.”
