Opposition parties have called for a high-level inquiry to evaluate responsibility and improve safety standards on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Public concerns focus on ensuring accountability, transparency, and efficient response mechanisms to natural disasters affecting critical transport links. Authorities are urged to enhance regulatory oversight, strengthen construction norms, and allocate adequate resources for maintenance and emergency response.
