Nana Patekar or Smit Machchhar? Row erupts over demands to name Vidyavihar flyover in Mumbai

A naming dispute has emerged regarding the newly constructed East-West Vidyavihar bridge in Mumbai. Shiv Sena (UBT) demands the bridge be named after late actor Nana Patekar. In contrast, BJP MLA Parag Shah has proposed Captain Smit Machchhars name for recognition. The bridge, which connects important local roads, is set to open soon.
