MMRDA hands over control of eastern and western express highways to BMC
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) formally handed over the control of two major arterial roads, Western Express Highway (WEH) and Eastern Express Highway (EEH), to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on November 29.
The handover took place two months after BMC commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, urged the Bombay High Court (HC) to make BMC the sole planning authority for the two arterial roads of Mumbai.
On September 30, the state government issued a NOC and urged the MMRDA to hand over the two major arterial roads to the BMC, and a portion of the road to Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) for its future maintenance and operation.
