At present, social media is abuzz with criticism of PMC's failure to construct double-decker flyover on Sinhagad Road. Considering the upcoming metro construction, PMC was suggested with the idea of double decker flyover, however, the state government proceeded with a single flyover, which was opened on May 1. Several netizens have taken to social media to highlight the flaw in the planning.
