Shobhaa De takes potshots at potholes, falling trees in Mumbai
July 26, 2017 23:34
In the wake of death cases due to falling of trees and potholes, author Shobhaa De today took to Twitter to mock the administration in her style.
"Mumbaikars are confused whether to look down for potholes or look up for falling trees," De tweeted.
The 'journalist, columnist, social commentator, opinion-shaper and author of 18 books', was referring to recent deaths involving a
falling tree and potholes.
Last week, former Doordarshan anchor and yoga instructor Kanchan Nath, while returning home from work in Chembur, became the third casualty of a tree collapse incident this year in the city.
This is not the first time that De has taken to
Twitter to express her views against the administration.
In 2015, the Shiv Sena moved a breach of privilege motion in the Maharashtra assembly against her for allegedly insulting the Legislative assembly, Marathi language and people.
De had criticised on Twitter the decision of the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance government to make it compulsory to screen Marathi films in multiplexes at prime time.
