''Atal Setu Not A Picnic Spot'': Mumbai Police As People Stop Cars, Take Selfies On Sea Bridge
NDTV
Mumbai Police has issued a warning on social media, threatening to take strict action on stopping vehicles on Atal Setu.
Within days of its inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link has become a ''picnic spot'' for the members of the public who were seen stopping their vehicles on the bridge to take selfies and pictures. Several photos and videos have also surfaced on social media showing people littering and climbing the railing to take selfies, in a complete disregard of rules. One video also showed a couple crossing the bridge ladder to alight on a viewing platform. We agree that Atal Setu is definitely 'worth a watch' but it's also illegal to stop on it & click photos. You will face a FIR if you stop on MTHL. #MumbaiTransHarbourLink#MTHL#AtalSetu#FaceFIRIfYouStoppic.twitter.com/582CLgA72W
