Similar incident in past

The Mumbai Coastal Road has faced two significant security and safety incidents within the past week, raising concerns among regular commuters. On Wednesday, panic erupted in the southbound tunnel when a moving car suddenly burst into flames, forcing motorists to abandon their vehicles and sparking a chaotic evacuation. 

While both incidents were fortunately resolved without casualties, they have collectively underscored the urgent need for heightened vigilance and improved emergency management on this busy corridor.
