New Delhi: On Monday evening, December 19, the commuters travelling from Haji Ali to Worli witnessed a considerably peculiar visible message. The phrase “smoke weed every day” flashed on the LED show board when drivers and motorists traveled down the street. As quickly as movies of the show board appeared on social media, a number of individuals questioned whether or not it had been hacked.
On the opposite hand, after a preliminary investigation, the police cop discovered that the message was purportedly triggered by a “technical fault.”
The LED show is being operated throughout the night hours by L&T (Larsen and Toubro), who can also be engaged on constructing the MCRP (Mumbai Coastal Road Project), which can seamlessly join South Mumbai to the North a part of the town, reported India Today.
Traffic Joint Commissioner Pravin Padwal stated “The LED display board for the detour on northbound from Haji Ali to Lotus junction has been put in by the L&T corporation. When this topic was brought up with L&T engineer Mr. Thackeray, he stated that a technical issue caused an incorrect message to appear on the display last night. His IT team has been alerted about this, and the display board has been shut off until it is addressed.”
Once the video surfaced on Twitter, netizens went loopy. One consumer tag CM Eknath Shinde and wrote, kindly look into this. Why are these form of promotions allowed.
