Maharashtra: In run-up to civic polls, infra projects lined up for completion
In anticipation of civic elections due early next year, the rush to complete infrastructure projects in Mumbai and Thane has begun in earnest by the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government.
In the next few months, six big infrastructure projects including four being built by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and two by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are attaining completion and are likely to be thrown open for public use.
On Monday, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will flag off trial runs of Metro 2A that runs from Dahisar to D N Nagar and Metro 7 that will connect Dahisar East to Andheri East. The entire project is worth Rs 12,000 crore.
