3% Of Divorces In Mumbai Are Due To Traffic Jams: Ex-Maharashtra CM’s Wife

Mumbai: Around 3% of divorces in Maharashtra’s capital Mumbai is happening due to traffic jams in the city, former CM Devendra Fadnavis’ wife Amruta Fadnavis said on Saturday.

“I am saying this as a common citizen. Once I go out, I see several issues including potholes, traffic. Due to traffic, people are unable to give time to their families and 3 per cent of divorces in Mumbai are happening due to it, so I advise the state government to pay more attention to its mistakes,” Fadnavis said on Friday.

Addressing media persons here after an event, he alleged that the MVA was acting as a monopoly and the government was just a “recovery” government.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar criticized Amruta Fadnavis’ claim.

“Amrita Fadnavis is the wife of our former chief minister. Her allegation is astonishing that traffic leads to divorce. There can be many reasons for divorce but this for the first time I have heard this,” said Pednekar.

Her remarks come ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections to be held later this year.
