The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, also known as Atal Setu, India's longest sea bridge named after Atal Bihari Vajpayee, has been the subject of controversy following reports of cracks on a service road leading to the bridge. The Maharashtra government has been accused of spreading misinformation about the bridge's condition. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has confirmed that the cracks were on a service road and not on the bridge itself. MMRDA officials have stated that the repair work has been completed and that the Atal Setu is 100% safe. Congress Chief Nana Patole had earlier claimed that the bridge had cracks, which was refuted by MMRDA project head.
