Shinde-Fadnavis govt gives major push to infrastructure projects

Giving a major push to infrastructure development, the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government has appointed a dedicated officer who would oversee the projects in Maharashtra.

The state government appointed IAS officer and veteran infrastructure projects execution expert Radheshyam Mopalwar as Director General (War Room – Infrastructure Projects).

Mopalwar would work in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) and would fast-track the implementation of various projects.

Soon after Shinde and Fadnavis took over as Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, respectively, they undertook an extensive review of all pending, stuck, ongoing and future infrastructure projects — totally valued well over Rs 10-lakh-crore.
