Mumbai gets 2 bridges and a promenade
Mumbai: On the eve of Independence Day, the Maharashtra government on Thursday inaugurated five infrastructure projects in the city, including a curved cable-stayed bridge that forms an extension of the Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR), a new arm of the Kalanagar Flyover, and a promenade for pedestrians and cyclists along the Mumbai Coastal Road. Mumbai, India - August 14, 2025: A night view of the SCLR bridge after Open for the vehicles from today , The Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR) Extension Phase-I achieves a major milestone with the successful launch of the 215m Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) span over the Vakola Flyover. Asia's first cable-stayed bridge with a sharp 100m curvature, Soaring 25m above ground, seamlessly crossing the Western Express Highway in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, August 14, 2025. (Photo by Satish Bate/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) 'These projects are set to significantly enhance Mumbai's urban mobility, strengthen infrastructure resilience and boost workforce capabilities,' said Sanjay Mukherjee, metropolitan commissioner, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The most significant project for motorists is the cable-stayed bridge passing over the Western Express Highway (WEH), which is the third in a series of extensions to the SCLR, whose construction commenced in 2016. The new bridge will allow motorists coming from the eastern suburbs and the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) via the SCLR to bypass the congested Kalina junction and land directly on the WEH after the Vakola Flyover. 'The completion of the final phase of the Santacruz–Chembur Link Road, with South Asia's first sharp-curve cable-stayed bridge, is a proud achievement that will ease travel between the Eastern and Western Express Highways,' said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, during Thursday's online inauguration ceremony at BKC. Deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde added that people will now be able to travel between Chembur and Dahisar without a traffic signal. However, despite the new bridge, which was built at a cost of around ₹1,000 crore and faced years of delays, constraints regarding the slow movement of vehicular traffic on the WEH remain, as was the case on Thursday evening. Fadnavis said during the inauguration ceremony that this would be solved once the second phase of the coastal road is opened in a few years. 'Since the Western Express Highway carries the load of 60% of vehicles from the western suburbs, we are constructing a sea link and northern coastal road right up to Bhayandar. This will be a parallel highway that will alleviate traffic woes,' he said. Another project inaugurated on Thursday was a 340-metre arm of the Kalanagar Flyover, built at a cost of ₹20 crore. Vehicles coming from Dharavi's T Junction can now head towards south Mumbai and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link by avoiding the Kalanagar junction. During the inauguration ceremony, Fadnavis shared that his previous government had taken a decision in 2015-16 to increase the number of entry-exit points to BKC. With the SCLR bridge and the Kalanagar Flyover's partial opening, five of the six entry-exit points are now ready. The only remaining entry-exit point is also part of SCLR, linking the Asian Heart Hospital Road in the central business district with the Vakola flyover, outside the Indian Air Force establishment in Santacruz. This link is expected to be ready only in December. Starting Saturday, the first phase of the Mumbai Coastal Road in south Mumbai, inaugurated last year, will also be open 24/7 for motorists rather than the current timings of 7 am to midnight. The state government also inaugurated 5.25 km of the 7.5-km-long promenade along the coastal road, part of which replaces the earlier Worli Sea Face promenade. The promenade stretches set to open are between Priyadarshini Park and Haji Ali, and then from Baroda Palace to Worli. Four pedestrian underpasses—located at Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk in Worli, the Worli Dairy School at Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Marg, the Haji Ali junction and through the Akriti parking lot at Bhulabhai Desai Marg—were also opened. 'Both these projects are essential in their own way, and Mumbaikars have been eagerly waiting for them,' said transport expert Vivek Pai. 'The SCLR extension will save commuters time by directly connecting the SCLR to WEH signal-free. On the other hand, the coastal road promenade will increase the green lungs of the city and finally provide pedestrian connection to the sea once again.' Fadnavis also cautioned motorists not to display their 'driving skills' and endanger their own lives and those of others on the coastal road. 'There are surveillance cameras installed on the entire stretch of the coastal road. You will get caught, and a ticket will get delivered to your doorstep. Please maintain traffic discipline,' he said. Meanwhile, MMRDA and the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) also opened a 100-metre foot over bridge at Terminal 2 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. MMRC posted on X: 'There will be no more rushing through traffic before your flight. Now, from CSMIA–T2 Metro Station to Airport Terminal-2 in just a few steps. The newly built bridge connects Lift Entry/Exit A1 at ground level straight to the terminal.'

ED freezes ₹110 crore linked to illegal betting platform Parimatch
MUMBAI: The Mumbai unit of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has frozen ₹110 crore lying in mule bank accounts in connection with a money-laundering probe into Cyprus-based illegal betting platform Parimatch. The action followed coordinated searches at 17 locations across the country on Tuesday, including Mumbai, Surat, Delhi, Noida, Kanpur, Madurai and Hyderabad. ED freezes ₹ 110 crore linked to illegal betting platform Parimatch The platform, owned by a Ukrainian national abroad, allegedly amassed nearly ₹3,000 crore from Indian users in 2023-24 alone, luring them with promises of high returns before defrauding them, ED officials said on Thursday. According to investigators, the frozen funds—proceeds of crime—were parked in multiple mule accounts used to layer and divert money to various recipients. Searches also led to the seizure of incriminating documents, digital devices and 1,200 credit cards linked to mule accounts. Complex laundering network The ED's probe, based on a complaint by the cyber police station in Mumbai, has uncovered a multi-layered laundering operation. In south India, user deposits were allegedly funnelled into mule accounts and withdrawn in cash in parts of Tamil Nadu, before being handed to hawala operators. These operators then recharged virtual wallets of a UK-based firm, which were used to buy USDT cryptocurrency in mule accounts run by Parimatch agents. In western India, Parimatch allegedly used Domestic Money Transfer agents to collect betting funds in mule accounts and channel them back through credit card transactions. Investigators have also flagged payment companies whose Payment Aggregator licence applications were rejected by the Reserve Bank of India. These firms allegedly provided backend services to Parimatch disguised as Technology Service Providers (TSPs), offering Application Programming Interface (API) access to integrate mule accounts—often opened in the names of e-commerce and payment service firms—into the platform. The funds were then 'masked' as e-commerce refunds, vendor payments and other routine expenses to obscure their origin and movement, officials said. Aggressive promotion in India To attract customers, Parimatch invested heavily in marketing, sponsoring sports tournaments and tying up with celebrities. Indian-registered entities—'Parimatch Sports' and 'Parimatch News'—were allegedly used for surrogate advertising, funded through foreign remittances. A city - based businessman, who is the complainant in the Mumbai police's case, alleged that he had lost around ₹12.22 crore at the accused illegal platform and its allied applications due to their 'non adherence to fairplay'. The businessman claimed he got attracted to the accused gaming platform's claims related to high returns, sometime in 2021, after noticing its advertisements and celebrity endorsements for it on a social media platform. 'All of us who have lost any money on the accused platform should be compensated,' the complainant told HT.
