Handful of Mumbai civic projects hit roadblocks after change of guard

With a change of guard at the helm of administration in Maharashtra, a handful of projects of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) promoted aggressively by the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government are either in limbo or stare at an uncertain future.

With the BMC polls round the corner, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who took over from Uddhav Thackeray after the fall of the MVA government, has brought his own set of priorities for the civic body to pursue in earnest.

While projects such as tactical urbanism, which included a series of small interventions planned across the city to increase its intractability with citizens, is in limbo, others such as the tunnel laundry and the proposed cycling track between Mahim and Bandra may never see the light of day.
