Pictures and videos circulating on X, depict a concerning scenario with paan and gutkha stains noticeable on various sections of Atal Setu.
In addition to the unsightly stains, users have shared videos capturing a blatant disregard for traffic norms on the Atal Setu. Individuals were seen treating the newly inaugurated bridge as a picnic spot. Several videos showcase motorists parking their vehicles on the sea bridge, creating potential hazards and disrupting the smooth flow of traffic.
