The LED display is being operated during the evening hours by L&T (Larsen and Toubro), who are also working on building the MCRP (Mumbai Coastal Road Project), which will seamlessly connect South Mumbai to the North part of the city. The junction is just a few metres away from the junction starting from the Haji Ali dargah towards the city bakery/Worli Naka junction.

LED sign that flashed the slogan "consume weed every day"

In a video from Monday night, commuters can be seen speeding by the LED sign that flashed the slogan "consume weed every day."

Once traffic officials learned of the error, the display board was shut down.

Traffic Joint Commissioner Pravin Padwal said "L&T company has installed LED display board for diversion on north bound from Haji Ali to Lotus junction. When discussed with L&T engineer, Mr. Thackeray, in this regard, he said that due to some technical glitch last night, a wrong message was flashing on the display. He has contacted his IT team regarding this and the display board has been closed until it is fixed."
