Mumbai: Traffic along the Mumbai Coastal Road was fully restored on Thursday morning after a car fire inside the southbound tunnel near Tardeo led to a temporary shutdown of the busy stretch. The incident, which occurred during peak office hours, brought both southbound and northbound traffic to a complete halt and caused severe congestion across adjoining routes.
