Sure shot way to have a major traffic snarl is to place the present-day traffic constables there, who really seem they have no idea about traffic management.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cAnd pls don\u2019t give me the \u2018people don\u2019t have civic sense\u2019 argument, that\u2019s just bollocks and everything comes down to authorities. If authorities could implement a lockdown and overnight banning of notes, then if the intent is there, authorities can manage traffic for sure. We have to stop this self\/victim-blaming mentality,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Rupali Ganguly Slammed BMC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Earlier today, Anupamaa star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/rupali-ganguly\/\">Rupali Ganguly<\/a> too took a dig at BMC after being stuck for hours in severe traffic congestion on her way to the Film City set in Goregaon, Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">What normally is a 1-hour drive turned into a 2.5-hour ordeal due to metro construction. Rupali shared a video on her Instagram story slamming the management. The actress in the video was seen saying that she had been stuck in traffic for over 50 minutes because the authorities decided to take giant containers during peak hours and also advised that this is something which should have been done in the late hours to avoid such situations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">She also accused the BMC of taking the public for granted and overlooking such day-to-day problems. While sharing the note, Rupali wrote, \u201cStuck for over 1 hour now!!! @my_bmc you are the most disorganised and literally the pits! Stop taking the public for granted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2553519954 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\">\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Stay updated with the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/television\/\">TV news<\/a> updates from daily serials to reality TV shows and your favourite small screen celebrity news.
