The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has confirmed that the Bandra-Worli Sea Link they will get an explosive scanner later this year. However, the security will not be fool proof as the scanner will be placed only at the Bandra end. “In the next two to three months, a scanner will be installed at the toll plaza of the sea link,” MSRDC managing director Bipin Shrimali said.
Earlier, there were plans to get two scanners, but as there is not enough space to park the explosive scanner at the Worli end, the authorities put it on hold. As per the procedure, the MSRDC is yet to make advance payment to Bharat Electronics Limited for the Rs24 crore scanner.
Scanning each vehicle will take around 60-90 seconds. Authorities said the scanner will deter people from carrying any suspicious materials in their cars.
